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.
On 24 January 2012, I was looking at the King's College London website for details of a forthcoming conference. The first item I found was the news that a scholar with whose work I am familiar had been given a chair there. Having found the information I was seeking, I put my earphones on to listen to Radio 4 while carrying out a routine on-screen task. I caught the finish of an item in a programme called 'Questions, Questions', and learnt at the end that one of the discussants was the professor whose new post I had been reading about minutes before.
