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.

I am Scottish but have lived in England for many years. My daughter who is English lives in New Zealand with her partner. He did the round the world bit in his twenties and spent time in Edinburgh and London where he met my daughter. He has a child from a relationship with a girl whom he met in Scotland. She moved to New Zealand, met and married another man, a few years ago. Her parents travelled from UK for the wedding and met my daughter. She told me about the wedding and spoke about the parents being from Scotland. It turned out that the parents were old friends of mine - in fact he was best man at my first wedding.
