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.
Several years ago I dated a guy named Pat (I am African American and Pat was Latino.) We had ended our relationship a few years prior when moved to another city and received a summons for jury duty in an experimental night court situation. As I was sitting in the jury pool, I struck up a random conversation with a young Latina sitting next to me. As we talked about our lives, I mentioned that I used to date a Latino named Pat. She said, "Pat ___ in (the name of the city I'd moved from)?" It was the same guy. She knew him and his family. After our jury service ended that night, we went out for drinks and had a really nice time.
The experiment with night court was ended that year.
