In a world of fake news, dodgy stats and misleading information, it's never been more important for us to be aware of why numbers matter.

I created this series of videos with the Sheffield Methods Institute, to break down statistics in a fun, engaging way.

This set of videos looks at where graphs came from; why flying is safer than you might think; how to spot a dodgy election bar chart; how tall is tall; and who really won the 2016 US election.
