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.
1975. I worked in a London lab prior to studying at Exeter uni. During the summer vacation two female students from my department went on a European rail trip. During a ferry crossing of the Adriatic Sea they got talking to a another young lady. 'Oh, there's a guy in our department who used to work in that hospital' they said. The guy was me, and the person they were talking to was the person who I'd handed over to on leaving the lab.
