Beirut twice in a day

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.

I was talking on the phone to a friend who I hadn't heard from for a couple of years. He was telling me about his time teaching in Beirut. While I was still chatting my father came into the room with a vintage headscarf he'd bought for me at a car boot sale - it was screen printed with views of Beirut.
