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 moved across the US 3,000 miles away from a small obscure town in California to a small obscure town in Maryland. On my very first day I went to a local supermarket two miles from the house and as I was walking in the store a man walked out who I recognized. He was a former co-worker who I had last seen two years prior in that small town in California. We were completely floored to see each other.
