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.
Once upon a time I used to be a groundsman for a factory,and one day I was charged with getting some bedding plants.I knew that the local hardware shop had a mini garden centre out the back of its shop ,so I went on a recce.Being an avid reader I had an autobiography in my pocket by Ted Simon called Jupiters Travels about the authors ride around the world on a Triumph motorcycle( pre dates Charley Boorman and Ewan mcGreggor somewhat,without a cameraman in tow!)Anyway the owners son came out to see me and in his hand was a copy of the book I was reading! Well as you can imagine conversation ensued ,a friendship struck up and he then became my bestman.
