Boats and vets

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 was on a sailing holiday and moored in the marina at Stromness, Orkney. There was a boat moored alongside and after a couple of days I got into a conversation with the owners. My eye had swollen and I felt self-conscious so mentioned it. Both commented so that I asked whether they were medical. He was, he was a vet, and it turned out had trained with my new vet in the place I'd recently moved to!
