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, 26th January 2012, I took down from my bookshelves my old battered school copy of Complete Works of Shakespeare to look something up. I don't remember the last time I referred to my Shakespeare but it was a long time ago. I opened it up, and there on the fly leaf in my schoolgirl hand was written my name and the date - 26th January! It was 1954.
