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.

Have just returned from a holiday in New Zealand. We stopped at a small town called .Geraldine in Canturbury and discussed how the name Geraldine has fallen out of fashion. The only Geraldine we could think of was Geraldine McEwan. Got back to Christchurch later that day, went onto BBC news website and read that Geraldine McEwan had just died. Make of that what you will.
