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 husband taught at a school in Zimbabwe in 1970. My son currently teaches at a school in London. At one of his parent's evenings of the children in his class, a mother said to him ....'I was taught by a Mr Hepburn at a school in Zimbabwe when I was the same age as my son?" ...on asking the name of the school, my son was able to reply "That Mr Hepburn is my father!" My husband and I were students together at the Teachers' College in Zimbabwe. We subsequently came to teach in England at a school in Sussex. We were out visiting one day, and on the way home stopped at a supermarket we hadn't been to before. We got in to the car to leave having done the shopping, and I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to get cheese, I dashed back in the store. The cheese counter was at the back of the store and I happened to bump into a girl who we had been at college with, and hadn't seen seen since graduation day 8 years ago...she was living in Zambia and was in England on a 48 hour stop over to visit an aunt in the village and was on her way to Canada!
