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.

This morning I threw on a youtube video while eating my breakfast. The video was an introduction to Hmong food. They mentioned a dish I had never heard of before: "Papaya Salad" . Less than two hours later I picked up a comic book I had never read before and what do the main characters eat in the first chapter? "Papaya Salad." Later that day I decide to treat myself to chinese takeout. What's on their menu? "PAPAYA SALAD." This dish popped up a lot in my day for something that I've never heard of before.
