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.

On 12th October 2007 devastatingly my second baby Jude was Stillborn in The Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. After much soul searching I got pregnant and my third baby Henry was born at 26 weeks and 1day on June 12 2011by emergency c section, weighing 510grams. Due to his prematurity Henry stayed in The Rotunda Hospital for 17 weeks and 3 days and finally left on the 12th October 2011, on Jude's Anniversary, 4 years to the day we left the same hospital with Henry. This date is also my Mum's Birthday and the day my parents got married.
