PRAiS2 project development work
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
UnderstandingUncertainty is helping develop and test the outputs of the PRAiS2 project led by Christina Pagel at UCL.
We now have a reasonably complete single page app together with an early multi page static design. The final production site can adopt elements of any design, but will use static HTML where possible so it is more visible to search engines.
Releases are currently restricted access. Please ask your contact within UCL CORU or the focus group for a username and password.
