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 went to a talk recently, at the Bath Literary festival, by Dr Dame Daphne Sheldrick, who together with her husband set up TSAVO National Park in Kenya. I was really impressed by her, bought her book, and was in the middle of reading it 2 weeks later when a car went past be in my village (just outside Bath) with the numberplate T5AVO!!!!!
