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.

In June 2009 I while travelling on The Dubrovnik airport bus to Gruz the ferry harbour I met a lady who I recognised as living in the same street as me 50 years ago. She still lived there while i had moved to another part of the country. In mid 2011 for the first time I look in the obituary section of my hometown paper to find she had died that week.
