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 have two specific serendipitous events that crossed my path today. First I wrote a letter about being attacked by a sommelier, then read in a new book's prologue that the author had the exact same experience with a wine steward. In my letter I utilized the word "discord" in description of my inner turmoil. Just now while reading a study performed by the National Institute of Health on a .gov website He author uses the word "discord" uncharachateristically in place a reference to "patient notes" or "test results". How crazy that two ideas I placed on paper earlier today have manifested in both a printed text and online in a medical study.
