June 19 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Hosted at Churchill College, Cambridge, by Professor Sharon Peacock, the Master’s Book Club series delves into some of the recent books published by members of the College. Wide-ranging discussions with the authors will shed new light on aspects of our past, present and future that connect with how we live today.
Join us to hear from Churchill College Fellow Prof. Sir David Spiegelhalter in conversation with the Master of Churchill College, Prof. Sharon Peacock, discussing his latest book, The Art of Uncertainty.
We live in a world where uncertainty is inevitable. How should we deal with what we don’t know? And what role do chance, luck and coincidence play in our lives?
David Spiegelhalter has spent his career dissecting data in order to understand risks and assess the chances of what might happen in the future. In The Art of Uncertainty, he gives readers a window onto how we can all do this better.
Entry is free but this is a ticketed event and booking is essential. The event will be followed by a drinks reception at 7pm.
