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.
My wallet was stolen from my University office shortly after my mother had died. Inside was her old bank card with a slip of paper with her PIN number, yes very silly I know. The thief withdrew the remaining balance of £57 at a cash line within half an hour. A few days later I was notified that I was one of the small prize winners in the Strathclyde University Staff Lottery. The prize was £57.
