body worlds exhibition

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 having dinner with a friend and we started arguing over my eating habits. As I was getting angry I tried to bring up another theme of conversation and remembered that my friend have recently told me that she wanted to visit the Body Worlds Exhibition, a very strange exhibition of plastinated corpes arriving to my hometown in Uruguay. Later, at home, I started to classify the comic books I have in my computer. The first one I opened ("Doctors" by Dash Shaw) got me interested on the story of some doctors offering rich people an afterlife and after a few pages I find the characters of the story going to a Body Worlds Exhibition. There's a whole page about it. I have a lot of comics in my computer and I don't think Body Worlds Exhibitions are mentioned at all in any other comic in the world. So there is a huge coincidence in this exhibition being in my hometown (not very prone in holding foreign exhibitions) and me picking this particular comic after having talked about the subject with a friend over dinner.
