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.

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

(PhD Candidate) develops #AgentBasedModels and models cross-scale processes. Currently, he focuses on how the #AutonomousAdaptation of interacting heterogeneous households and firms affects regional #ClimateInducedDamages and socio-economic resilience.

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": dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7484

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

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.

It’s been quite a while folks! Not that I was ever active on Twitter lol. Many great things have happened in my life, including working on some amazing research projects to counter #deepfakes, getting involved in various #AI applications, building prototype #agentBasedModels , being awarded a fellowship, and applying to computer science #PhD programs this season. I’m currently working at one of my dream engineering employers, but I’m very much devoted to following my doctorate dreams 🖤👾

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.
