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.
My (now) husband was the friend of my friend's husband's cousin - so a very distant connection, or so we thought. The day we met, here in New Zealand, we talked about where we grew up. I told him I was born in the UK and lived in a small town, Harston near Cambridge. He shared that his mother took him and his sisters to live in the UK when he was a child - and he went to a school in a small town, Sawston near Cambridge. Sawston was where my father worked - just 5 miles or so from Harston, where I went to school! 30-odd years later we met in Queenstown, New Zealand and got married 2 years later.
