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 eye was being examined by an optemitrist from Chile yesterday and I happened to mentionhow much I had enjoyed the Atacama Desert when in Chile and he told me how beautiful it was smothered in flowers in Spring and Autummn when I got home and openend my emails there was one from a friend visiting the Atacama Desert just then! All she told me was that she was going to Antarctica - I had no idea.
