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 am writing a PhD on ancient Greek art and was starting to research general theoretical approaches to art history. One morning, I came across the name of an art historian- Erwin Panofsky. I am sorry to say I had not heard of him before, though he is quite an influential figure in 20th century art history. I Googled him and found an essay by him that I began reading. At one point I left my desk to bring a book back to the university library. As I left the library, I passed by the book swap shelves, and on the top shelf was a book of essays by Erwin Panofsky, and the first one was the essay which was still open on my laptop screen upstairs.
