meeting in a Marrakesh suburb

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.

While on holiday in Marrakesh, I got a little lost and ended up in a nondescript area north of the centre. I sat down at a cafe and spied a work colleague (around 100 of us). We couldn't quite believe it. When this happens at Euston Station, it's not a coincidence; but if it happens in the Moroccan equivalent of Kilburn, I think it's quite a good one.
