To me you need a good reason to learn to code something. The good reason in HS should be to explore another area of learning (ie. A two for one). So my thought is either NetLogo or Julia with Agents.jl and learn something about science in the process. Ecology, physics/dynamics, forest fires, whatever. There are so many ways #agentbasedmodels can give that two for one.

Happy to join Mathematical Biosciences as an editorial board member. From what I hear I am not the only person in my group joining at this time but I am hoping to bring my expertise in #AgentBasedModels and #EvolutionaryGameTheory to model #CancerEvolution and #TreatmentResistance in the context of #Ecology

Yay, more people doing #agentbasedmodels !

I would say Agent Based Modeling is pretty much my favorite kind of model. It really gets into the heart of thinking about the process that is going on. I have this dream to found a nonprofit specifically aimed at tackling complex social issues with insight from ABMs. The question is just how to get funding to do it and a critical mass of participants to work on it. #agentbasedmodels

#Introduction for a new instance 👋

I'm a PhD student in Urban and Regional #Planning at the University of #Hawaii

Studying regional revitalization in #Japan, #Korea, and elsewhere in East and Southeast #Asia

I'm a big #JuliaLang fan interested in its applications for social science. I also create #AgentBasedModels

Catch me supporting #LAFC and watching #soccer ⚽

New article & plug for an exciting journal: I just published a #replication of an important agent-based model, defending it against recent criticism and showing that "Groups of diverse problem-solvers outperform groups of highest-ability problem-solvers - most of the time": http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7484072

This is published in ReScience C, a platinum OA journal for replications of computational research ... a great initiative!

Another interesting way into this kind of thing is #agentbasedmodels you could get Uri Wilenskis book and start playing with NetLogo
@ZachWeinersmith

This textbook on #agentbasedmodels for use in Archeology looks extremely interesting. https://santafeinstitute.github.io/ABMA/ thanks to @cdwren and colleagues for making this available to the world. #ABM

I had a long Convo with my wife this morning about a #biology process she's studying. Inevitably the conversation began to tilt towards agent/rule based descriptions of the process (like "what makes these cells stop migrating"). We have tried to get funding for building #agentbasedmodels of bone healing but the funding agencies mostly aren't interested. Agencies don't "get it" they act as though they think model building is pointless, they want to fund experiments.

#introduction when the database crashed I lost some followers, but because I hadn't backed up my account yet, I am not sure who they all are. As an extended introduction I'll tag some common topics I like to discuss, maybe people will see those.

Very happy to see that my colleague Britta Tietjen (@btietjen )
has just joined us here on the 🐘 side!

Follow her for #TheoreticalEcology
#EcologicalModelling
#AgentBasedModels
#Biodiversity
#EcosystemFunction #ClimateChange
#Landuse
etc

Without her support, our latest paper on #BushEncroachment in #Savanna systems would never have seen the light of day...

So excited to see the active #PhysiCell community!

This #preprint #mathbio stems from our 2021 workshop and hacakthon. Inês Gonçalves, David Hormuth II, Sandhya Prabhakaran, and Caleb M. Phillips They made an extension for calibrating and optimizing #AgentBasedModels written with PhysiCell.

Way to go!!! @biorxivpreprint

#introduction
Hi all, for those who don't know me. I am an ecologist working on response of biodiversity to global change, mostly in managed systems (forests, farmland, cities) where trees are found. I use modelling tools, particularly #AgentBasedModels. Very keen to redefine "habitat" to make it more functional, and to put #conservation in the interdisciplinary context it requires.

I've now pivoted from timescales of millions of years, to days/weeks. I'm interested in how sexual conflict in insects changes (or doesn't) when population densities are very low. In particular, can insects' capacity for #parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction) help them survive population bottlenecks?

I hope to address this topic with experiments and #AgentBasedModels / #IndividualBasedModels. I'm also interested in using #MachineLearning to make the #simulation process more efficient.

#introduction 👋

I am a junior research group leader for #ecoevo #modelling at the University of Hohenheim in Germany.

We study all kinds of #EcologicalNetworks. We want to know how such networks are structured, how they maintain their balance and how they respond to #globalchange. We approach these questions from a theoretical point of view, using computer simulations and mathematics.
