Coincidence about this very subject and topic!
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
This morning my wife mentioned she'd heard a Radio 4 story about this site. At the point she mentioned it, I had just been reading Daniel Kahnemans 'Thinking, Fast and Slow" book and in fact had only just read about his own tale of coincidence at the Great Barrier Reef at the start of Chapter 6 (which covers how the brain interprets coincidences). How's that for a self-referential coincidence on the topic of coincidences!
