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 have two friends called Laura who I met in primary school although they are not in contact their lives are remarkably simular. They were both born in Feb although a year apart. They both moved away from our home town after leaving university and became nurses and both at some stage worked within A&E Departments of major city hospitals. It's not just their work lives that mirror each other their personal lives do too, last year they both got married, each to a man called Jonny!
