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 born in Lisbon and emigrated to London, both city names have six letters, begin with L and end with n. L happens to be the only letter present in every one of my names and also the 11th letter in my native alphabet. I was born in November. Having been born in Lisbon, I moved to a place in the suburbs called Agualva-Cacem, 7 and 5 letters. Having emigrated to London, I ended up moving to Ruislip-Manor. In the suburbs.
