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 was invited to be on the technical advisory board of a New Zealand startup out of Waikato University by its CEO. At one social event, he mentioned he'd moved to NZ as a kid, and we discussed where from - turned out, we'd been to the same primary school in London (Gospel Oak) at the same time, 45 years before. And both ended up as professors in computing, on opposite sides of the planet, but then meeting up and working together for fun and profit. How quaint:-)
