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.

My Father became ill with flu, and died in hospital, aged 53 years and five months. I was hospitalised with a pulmonary embolism aged 53 years and five months. I later found out from my Father's death certificate that the cause of death was a pulmonary embolism! I'm glad I found this out after my recovery.
