Mercury Poisoning
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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 had just read a Facebook posting about the Japanese PM supporting dolphin slaughter. One comment read ' I hope they die of Mercury poisoning'.
I then moved the post beneath it which was from New Scientist concerning the NASA Messenger Spacecraft crashing into Mercury.
A comment read "Messenger has died from Mercury poisoning"......!
