3 birthdays

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.

My mother, born on 4 December 2011 (and now sadly dead), gave birth to me at home, on her 28th birthday with snow on the ground in 1939. My daughter, Rebecca, then gave birth to her firstborn, Thomas on our birthday in 1993. For several years we all celebrated our joint birthdays together and feel there is something missing now that Mum is not with us.
