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 am from a small region in Northern Spain (Asturias). I lived there for most of my life and did my degree and PhD in Biology there (Universidad de Oviedo). In the department I used to work with a guy from Mexico DF. Then I moved to Oxford where I ended up living with a girl from Mexico DF and she is now one of my closest friends. After a few months of knowing her, we realise she had been close friends with the guy back to when they were both doing their degree in Mexico DF, more than 10 years ago. Furthermore, we also realised that she was friends with another guy from Barcelona (Spain) that I met briefly in Cambridge. My home town is 900 km from Barcelona.
