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.
A few minutes ago I was writing an email in which I mentioned my father died when he was 41 years old, of malaria which he'd contracted when he was stationed in Guam. It weakened his heart and heart surgery was not as easy to treat as it is now. I turned the tv on, to the noon news, just when Bill Gates was on the screen announcing, he was funding a drive to eliminate malaria. In the past few days, this kind of link up has happened several times. I went to a concert to hear Beethoven's 5th symphony last week, and later I heard the first 4 notes in three different locations, one was a nearby car while I filled my gas tank. It used to be confusing.
