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.
When my son was at school he took part in an exchange programme with a French school in Tours. A girl called Natalie came to our house via the school and returned on a second private visit with her brother Laurent. We kept in touch with the family for a while, but hadn't heard from them for a few years. My son went to Southampton University and moved into a student house in the town. Out of the blue we received a letter from Natalie telling us that her brother was living and working in England. When we read his address, we couldn't believe that he was living in a house opposite my son in Southampton.
