DESCRIPTION:Qingyuan Zhao\, Cambridge University\nMendelian randomization 
 (MR) is a method for causal inference that utilizes the natural experimen
 t in genetic inheritance. The idea of MR can be traced back to the dawn of
  modern statistics and genetics a century ago\, although the terminology w
 as not well known until the beginning of this century. Owing to the explos
 ion of genomic datasets\, the popularity of MR has been growing exponentia
 lly since then.\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide a give of the historical 
 ideas and recent progress in MR. I will talk about an ongoing work on "alm
 ost exact Mendelian randomization" that unifies a lot of the old and new i
 nsights.\n
