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.

On my Gap year I did Raleigh international in Malaysia. On my expedition of 80 people, three had been to Cambridge, one was a geographer and one was at Downing college. After I left the expedition, I was at a cheap hostel in KL and got talking to a fellow traveller who had done Geography and been at Downing and knew those two people (one well, one not very well).
