Joe Ramsey took over my work on the TETRAD project in the Philosophy
Department at Carnegie Mellon when I left.  It's a major project to develop
software for doing statistical causal reasoning.  Sometimes correlation is
causation.

Joe just posted this in Facebook:

I didn't know if it was OK to say yet, but word is getting out, so I guess
it's OK. A project I've been working on for the last 20 years in the
Philosophy Department at Carnegie Mellon, TETRAD, was just selected as one
of four winners of the prestigious SAIL award. It's a great honor. Ours was
a "leading" award. There were 800 projects that applied for consideration.

EDIT: This has been a long-running project, started by Clark Glymour, Peter
Spirtes and Richard Scheines some 10 years before I started on it. We've
had considerable help along the way as well. So it's definitely been a
group effort!
