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 was driving from Indiana to Wisconsin to visit an Indian reservation where I do research. I had worked with a member of this tribe who lives in Nashville and is a musician, but I hadn't heard from him in a couple years. I was thinking of him as I drove, since I was headed to his community. I made a last minute decision to stop at a rest area, changed my mind about where to park, and there was Bill M. sitting on a bench right in front of my parked car. He had a gig to play in a different part of Wisconsin.
