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 name is Christine and my husband and I had booked to see the show 'Celtic Woman' last September (2011) at a venue in Birmingham as part of my 60th birthday celebrations so we were dissappointed when the show was cancelled a couple of weeks before we were due to see it. We had also booked a long weekend in Paris to celebrate and a few days before we went I looked on the 'Celtic Woman' website and to my surprise saw that they were appearing in Paris for one night only which happened to be the night we arrived in Paris! When we arrived in Paris we took a taxi straight to the venue without even unpacking and were able to see the show after all!
