📢 BEMC Talk: “Interpretational errors in causal inference and how to avoid them”

The BEMC series invites the community to a hybrid lecture on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. featuring Aaron Sarvet (University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA). 🌎📊

In his talk, Sarvet will explore how causal inference—originally rooted in practical, discipline-based questions—has evolved into a framework that now shapes which questions are asked and how evidence is interpreted. He will introduce the concept of “identity slippage,” an interpretational error increasingly observed in causal research, and demonstrate how recognizing this error is essential for sound public health and clinical decision-making. Case studies from mediation analysis and instrumental variable analysis will illustrate these challenges and their solutions. 🔍📈
