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 dear Mother passed away on the 16th January 2014 the day before my fortieth birthday. In her Eulogy the family had contributed memories and facts about her life, where she lived what she enjoyed etc...in particular I recalled how she used to enjoy bingo at he commodore club with her mother when she was alive which was at least 25 years ago. Yesterday a friend at work asked me if I would like to go to the commodore bingo (the very same place ....my friend had no idea the content of the Eulogy or anything about my Mum, I never heard anyone outside my immediate family mention that place). Also yesterday I was talking to a work mate about my mum, he had recently lost his father. We were getting ready to leave work and chatting about the effect of bereavement on our lives. He said bye to me and then I accessed the computer one last time to finish off a report on one of my clients...I clicked on the wrong client record but couldn't help notice that the client was living at the address my Mum lived at as a child ( this address was also mentioned in the Eulogy).
