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.
Thirty years ago as a mature B.Ed. Student in Reading I immediately became friends with a fellow student on my course. It seemed as if we had always known each other and we remain friends today. Three years after I left university I had a similar experience with a new teacher at my school. Again we have remained friends over the years. It was only after several more years that a chance remark led to the discovery that we had all been born in Queen Charlotte's Hospital in Hammersmith. Could this have influenced our perceptions of each other when we first met?
