Foot & Mouth Artists

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.

As a young child of about 11, I had a very bad dream in which I had lost my hands. I was learning to paint using a brush in my mouth, but the whole experience was proving very traumatic as I could not come to terms with having no hands. Next morning as I was having breakfast, the postman arrived with something for me... It was from my mother who I had not lived with since I was about 6 years old - It was a calendar and every picture had been painted by a foot and mouth artist. It was a spine tingling moment!
