What to do

A general note: Some of the tasks below are fairly open ended. You shouldn’t go through the tasks like a check-list. Instead, explore these simulations, play with them, query them. As you do, loop through iterations of formulating your expectations for a specific scenario/task, running the model and observing results, and if results don’t agree with your expectations, figure out why. Essentially, “do science/research”.

Task 1:

Task 2:

Note: The ‘pathogen in the environment’ units are arbitrary here, and parameters are chosen such that everything fits (mostly) into a single plot. To compare with real data, where environmental pathogen load might be very high, you would need to show separate plots, or plot on a log scale.
