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.

On a canal boating holiday in Yorkshire (where I live) in the early 1980s, as our boat glided under a footbridge, I saw a man whom I knew crossing the bridge above us. He was the manager of a small bookshop in Glasgow on whom I called in my day job as a publisher's rep. I hailed him and we had a brief chat.
