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.

In the late 1950's I was coming home on leave from Northern Ireland to my parent's address in Suffolk. It was a journey of some 24 hours and I needed to change London underground lines at Bank. I stood in front of the doors as the train approached the station. They opened and my father (the late Percy Edwards M.B.E.) stood opposite me, waiting to board the train on his way to an appointment.
