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.
Having grown up in Harrogate, I began work on Teesside in the 1990s. At a friend's birthday gathering at her home about 10 years ago, I was recounting how my father had run summer schools in the early 80's in York, so that teachers could learn how to teach children to swim. As a teacher, her face lit up and said that she had attended such a course. She disappeared upstairs and returned with a photograph album. Lo and behold, there was a "team photograph" with all the attendees and my father in the centre of the photograph!!!
