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.

Out of the blue, my husband started to talk about our longstanding wish to visit California, and I replied that since we hadn't got around to it in 40 years we were unlikely ever to do so. I then powered up my computer, only to find an e-mail from a holiday company with which we'd previously travelled, advertising an interesting trip there at a reasonable price. Readers, we booked and are off in May!
