Radio 4 telepathy

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

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.

I recently visited an archaeological site in Cornwall. AIthough I've been a keen amateur archaeologist for many years I had never heard of the site before I researched the trip: it is not particularly well-known. I walked back to the car, switched the radio on and immediately heard a discussion about the exact site. It wasn't even an archaeology programme, but a general 'questions answered' type of programme, focusing on the etymology of the site's name. I'm well-used to minor coincidences but this was very odd indeed!
