Since it's my week as curator 💜, let's dive into infectious disease modelling! 🦠📈
What do ID modellers do?
Use math, data & computer simulations to understand how diseases spread & how we can control them
It's a mix of
📊 Epidemiology
💻 Coding (eg #Rstats/ #Python)
🏥 Public Health

My approach has been use C++ for the heavy lifting and connect back to R using {Rcpp}.
Same approach used by {individuals}
