Acsmaggart··on ArXiv Papers as Audiobooks
I had been daydreaming a couple of weeks ago about being able to listen to papers while driving or doing repetitive tasks, and it looks like there is now a YouTube channel where these get posted:

The pipeline seems to do a pretty good job of cleaning up the writing too, some ArXiv papers are a little rough.

Acsmaggart··on Causal inference as a blind spot of data scientists
A co-worker pointed me to this e-book, which I thought did a great job of presenting he concepts in a relatable and applied way:

But I agree with other comments here, at the end of the day it seems like causal analysis often boils down to whether you trust the analyst and/or their techniques since it is hard to validate the results.
