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 grew up in a small town of about 20k people. 10 years later I met a man on a squatted farm in the countryside 30 Km outside of Barcelona. He was from a small village in Belgium, and living in Barcelona, but visiting this farm to learn to brew beer. I was visiting this farm as I traveled by, and only there for one day. After talking throughout the day, I told him the town I came from, and it turns out that he did an exchange student program and the same highschool I was attending, at the same time. We were different years and did not know eachother, but shared several mutual friends.
