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.

Very good friends of ours have just gone to tour NZ for six weeks. Today, in the post, a pensioner's newsletter arrived for my husband featuring an article about an ex-colleague of his who has gone to NZ to set up a B and B and plant a vineyard. I had just finished reading the article when the phone rang. Who should it be but friends of mine, ex-colleagues, phoning completely out of the blue, whom we last saw just before they embarked upon a five month tour of NZ. Small world?
