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 partner Steve was born on October 29 1950. His only brother Mark was born on March 31 1952. Their parents seperated early and they grew up with their mother. Mark never left home. On March 31 2000, Mark's 48th birthday, their mother died of breast cancer. Later I started looking into their family history and discovered (among other things) that their father died of cancer on October 29 1998, Steve's 48th birthday!
