Testicular Cancer

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.
Once as rather petulant youth, while working as clerk in a hardware store, as an answer to the question of a patron as to how I was, I answered, "ok, except for this testicular cancer!" He did not laugh, but to my utter chagrin, told me how his brother had died of testicular cancer while he was a missionary! Seven years later, at another job, I was telling this story to a couple of male colleagues, when one informed me that he was with one testicle after having the other removed due to cancer!
