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 live in the small village of Souldern in Oxfordshire, there are only about 100 houses here. Last November I was visiting my daughter who lives in the town of Alexandra in New Zealand. Whilst there I got chatting to a work colleague of hers and told him I was on holiday from the UK upon which he said he was coming to visit the UK himself for the first time in his life in May of this year. As we chatted more about his forthcoming trip and what he wanted to see here he added that he would be visiting a cousin of his who lives here; when I asked where his cousin lived he told me it was a place called Souldern in Oxfordshire. I know his cousin, her house is a 10 minute walk from mine.
