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.
My partner and I were walking around Chirk Castle the other week for the first time, when some old friends we knew from University (about 3 years ago in Yorkshire) bumped into us. Strange that we both decided to go there on the same day. My parents have also bumped into friends in other parts of the world whilst on holiday after not seeing them for years.
