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.
I "met" someone (we were both interviewees on a R4 programme). She lived in London and attended the studio there. I live in Derbyshire and "phoned in" my interview from a tiny studio in Matlock. The interview was about having had cancer, but post-interview chit-chat revealed that we also both had connection with Newbury in Berkshire. It turned out that her first husband attended the same school as I and my husband did. He is only about a year younger than us, but given the stupid arrangements at that school neither of us knew him, but it turned out we did have friends in common.
