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.

In 1983 i was working on a medical ward as a student nurse. in those days patients beds were on a long ward and nurses were allocated a left or right side. i was doing observations of blood pressure pulse etc when i heard my name called out loud, i turned round to see the nurse working opposite me looking at me she asked why i had called her, i said no you called me, we were both so astonished and it felt really spooky. i have always wondered what caused this and what it meant!
