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’d started working as a kids’ entertainer, roughly 3 years after leaving my last cruise ship contract.
In my local Waitrose, I met a girl, Vicky, a beauty therapist who I’d known very well on my last ship.
What made this coincidence stand out, was not the chance meeting. I palpably felt the presence of someone familiar, and turned around to find her standing with her back to me. So convinced was I that I knew her, I took the trouble to look at Vicky’s face.
Otherwise, we would have walked right past each other, looking in opposite directions.
