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 sister emigrated to Perth, Australia, from Aberdeen, Scotland, where I was a college instructor.
After they'd been there for about a year, I flew with my mum to visit her and her family. A few hours after arrival at their house in Joondalup, I headed out with my sister's partner for a drink in a trendy suburb nearby.
Ordering our drinks, it turned out the young barman knew me. He'd been a student of mine back in Aberdeen. Small world!
