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.

In 1946, a teenager, my newborn daughter was adopted. I was not married. I signed away all rights of contact. I did however know the phone work number of her (adopting) father and just on forty years later for the first and only time I rang his office with some anonymous and neutral enquiry. Two days later, I learnt that he had died the day I rang.
