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.
Having met an anthropologist called Joe Reinhardt in Kathmandu, Nepal where we lived in the 70s, we lost touch over the years. About 15 years later I was asked to look at a wildlife tourism project in Ecuador, South America. One day whilst out tracking alone in the Rio Napa area, I walked into a clearing from dense jungle and had a 'Dr Livingstone' moment when who should I come face to face with but the very same anthropologist.
