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 was on a work trip to London which is unusual when I was changing trains on the underground. I saw a woman standing at the bottom of the escaltors and thought how similar to my friend that I'd lost touch with who lived in Singapore. As I walked past her and heard her talk in her Danish accent I realised it was my friend from Singapore who had flown in that afternoon. I hadn't seen her for 5 years and she hadn't been to UK for over 10 years.
