Motorbikes, Terrorism, Heart Attacks, Sausages….

Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk, David Spiegelhalterher gives an illuminating presentation of the data behind the stories and what the statistics behind risk do and don’t mean in reality.

He titled his entertaining lecture Motorbikes, Terrorism, Heart Attacks, Sausages…. and a bit like Terry Pratchetts Discworld, in David’s world there are Micromorts, spam fritters, battered haggis and beer… and watching the Eurovision Song Contest could cost you 6 microlifes!
