S5E10: What We Learned, What We Got Wrong, and What Comes Next
October 15, 2026
In this season finale, Matt and Hailey reflect on what they learned, and are still wrestling with, after working through Part I of Causal Inference: What If. They discuss how revisiting familiar concepts can reveal new layers of nuance, why the current enthusiasm for target trial emulation shouldn’t be mistaken for a shortcut to causal inference, and the importance of recognizing when the available data or scientific question simply doesn’t support a target trial. The conversation turns to th...
S5E9: Random Error Is the Easy Part
September 15, 2026
In this episode of SERious Epidemiology, Hailey and Matt are joined by Lucy D’Agostino McGowan to discuss Chapter 10 of Causal Inference: What If? and the problem of random variability. This episode explores the distinction between random error and systematic bias, what confidence intervals and standard errors actually tell us, and why increasing sample size can improve precision without making a biased estimate any closer to the truth. Lucy offers a statistician’s perspective on why random e...
S5E8: Selection Bias: Colliders, Censoring, and Confusion
August 12, 2026
In this episode of SERious Epidemiology, Hailey and Matt are joined by Dr. Louisa Smith to discuss Chapter 8 of Causal Inference: What If on selection bias. The conversation explores how selection bias can arise through conditioning on a collider, how it differs from confounding, and how loss to follow-up and censoring can introduce bias even in randomized trials. A major theme of this episode is the relationship between selection bias and confounding. We also discuss generalizability, target...
