Very happy to attend the Young Researcher Workshop of the Universities of Tübingen and #Hohenheim (as an invitee, even if I’m not that young anymore 😉) - lots of great presentations and lively discussions, including on causal machine learning! Many thanks to B. Jung, M. Biewen & the organising team!
