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 watching a movie on Netflix in bed after getting a flu shot when my identical twin sister texted me to say hi and ask what I was up to. I told her and she said she was watching a movie too, and that she had gotten her flu shot the day before. I asked her what she was watching and it was the same movie I was watching! (Called “Carol,” about a pair of women in the 1950s who have an affair). I was 15 minutes ahead of my sister in the story.
