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 father-in-law was a doctor but while he was training during the 1940s in London he contracted TB and was a patient in the hospital he was training at. He then lived in London and later in Essex. In the 1990s, after retiring, he moved to Cheltenham to an old house divided into apartments. He went to introduce himself to one of the neighbours and immediately recognised her as a nurse who had looked after him in hospital all those years ago and he had never seen since.
