#16 The science of cause and effect - with Connor Gleadhill

I am joined by Connor Gleadhill to discuss causal inference. Connor is a PhD candidate exploring causal inference and is someone who speaks fluently about complex topics (must be the smooth Irish accent!). Causal inference is basically the pursuit of estimating how and why things happen. How do we determine causation - strictly through the randomised controlled trial or can we use observational evidence too? Can causal inference help us navigate a chaotic world?
