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.
When I was a student at Cambridge in the late 1980s one of my professors was Timothy Smiley, who had several daughters. I found out in the early 1990s, after I'd returned to work, that one of them was the girlfriend of the person who sat in front of me in the office!
