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.

About 20 years ago I developed a computer font which looks pretty much like real handwriting. This is the only font I've created and eventually it made its way onto the internet and a few people have used it. A few years ago, a printer in Sussex made some greetings cards using illustrations done by my grandmother in the 1960's and 1970's when she was a professional illustrator. For the captions on the cards, and without knowing the connection, they used my font - they were very surprised when I told them!
