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.
Couple years ago, sitting in restaurant in Sedona, AZ -- hear patron and waiter discussing NYC bridges. I chime in, we chat a while. At some point, introductions. Other fellow from Brooklyn -- hey, I'm from Brooklyn. More conversation, where'd you go to high school? Brooklyn Tech, Hey, I went to Tech. What year graduated? 1964. Hey, I'm class of 1964 too! Of course, we didn't know each other -- 1200 graduates, not really surprising. But still, interesting/unlikely coincidence.
