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 partner and I seem to have some odd connection. We met two years ago. We both have daughters called Rosie in the fashion industry. Our mothers' best friends were both called Nola. Our fathers were both actors (we met on a farm in NZ, not a theatre). There is more of that sort of thing.<br /><br />
But what is most extraordinary is the number of times we call/text each other simultaneously, even after days apart. A couple of weeks ago Eliza was away working, as she often is. I thought "I haven't heard from ELiza for a bit," turned my head to my phone and immediately there was a buzz and a text from her appeared on my screen. This sort of thing has become so common we don't even mention it any more.
