understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Whilst listening to Radio 4 in 2011, I heard a talk show on which Alan Titchmarsh bemoaned the loss of traditional practical skills in society. "When was the last time you built a cupboard?" he asked rhetorically.
At that very moment I was building a cupboard. (I'm not a carpenter! This was the only cupboard I've ever made).
