Dr. Weisskopf's talk will focus on recent developments in the study of the
relation between perinatal air pollution exposures and autism spectrum
disorders. He will cover recent evidence regarding specific critical windows of
exposure and, with appeal to Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), the implication of
those results for issues of confounding and causal inference."
