Just to whet our appetite, Wingspan Productions have alerted us to the new ‘Tails you win” clip on the BBC’s YouTube channel. The 4.5 mins snippet shares David’s positive outlook on life and why he thinks that knowing more about chance and risk may actually increase our enjoyment of life (and perhaps boost our life expectancy too).

For those of us keen to know more about the numbers and research underlying the clip, see David Spiegelhalter’s  Blog at Understanding Uncertainty.
