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.
Background- Jennifer, my first grandchild was born on the 28th Dec. 1995 in Queens Park Hospital Blackburn. I love her dearly and we have always been very close.
2011, A party had been planned for Jennifer's 16th birthday and I was looking forward to going when I started to be ill 4 days before. I was admitted to the same hospital, renamed The Royal Blackburn Hospital on 26th Dec. 2011. My daughter and grandaughter visited me in hospital on 28th Dec and
realised It was the same room that they were in after the birth. The strange thing is that, 1) the maternity unit moved from Blackburn to Burnley 2 or 3 years ago and the ward had only been re-opened in the last week for seasonal illnesses and 2) I have not been in hospital since 1969 !
How weird was that?
