Morsels from Numbers and Nature: A Mathematical Exploration of Disease and Diversity in Oaks: The Case of Oak Wilt Disease

Join us for our next Morsel on December 19th, 2024, at 4 PM ET, featuring Yorkinoy Shermatova, a graduate student from the University of Minnesota. Yorkinoy will present her research on "A Mathematical Exploration of Disease and Diversity in Oaks: The Case of Oak Wilt Disease," using individual-based models (IBMs) to study the spread of oak wilt.


About the Morsels series

This truly was one of the best interdisciplinary workshops on sustainability that I have been to.
