A great work by our webinar speaker @lhmoncla.bsky.social and her team. They used phylodynamic analyses of H5N1 to reconstruct how the 2021–2023 North American HPAI outbreak started and spread across flyways, host groups, and agriculture.

My new model in development is way too computationally intensive (millions of grid cells with daily environmental variable updates, times 10,000+ of agents' behaviors). #NetLogo (I still love NetLogo) cannot help me with this task.
