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.
These might include:
- Precautionary principle
- Evaluating Evidence
- Psychology of risk behaviour
- Neurophysiology of risk behaviour
- Sociology of risk / Risk in society
- Philosophy of risk
- What is ‘probability’/ risk etc?
- Risk communication
- Teaching resources on risk/uncertainty
- Media treatment of risk/uncertainty
- Government handling of risk/uncertainty
