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.
Returning to the UK by plane on leave from the Department of Epidemiolpogy at Otago University (with which Prof Spiegelhalter had associations) I sat next to someone who knew a university friend of mine. We continued our conversation when, coincidentally, we sat next to each other on a flight the following year. While my travel arrangements were quite regular (to the same week or so each year) his were not.
