DESCRIPTION:Johannes Nicaise (Imperial College London)\nI will explain joi
 nt work with Evgeny Schinder\, where we use Denef and Loeser's motivic nea
 rby fiber and a theorem by Larsen and Lunts to prove that stable rationali
 ty specializes in families with mild singularities. I will also discuss an
  improvement of our results by Kontsevich and Tschinkel\, who defined a bi
 rational version of the motivic nearby fiber to prove specialization of ra
 tionality.
