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 good pal Derek, and i were visiting the Somerset levels prior to this awful flooding, to do an afternoon of birding (we r not twitchers ),so we were randomly zig zagging the area around Shapwick and West Hay,and Tadham moor,during our drive we were talking about old sixties female boogie woogie piano players,and Winifred Attwell came into our reflections,as Derek mentioned the name, a smallish flat bed truck came around the bend and on the front was W.Atwell in very bold type,Whooaa,ok you may think,,,that was at about 10 in the morning,having mused on this for about 20 mins we continued our day and ended up about 4 ish on a new nature reserve near Catcott,sitting having an afternoon snack,and blow me a much bigger truck came by with the same logo.....what can you say?
