Description:

This is an addendum to the proposed minisymposium of the same name to add two additional speakers. We believe this topic is of particular importance, not just to the math biology community, but to the entire field of public health. Therefore, we believe it is important to showcase additional research in this minisymposium.

Diversity Statement:

Our proposed minisymposium aims to provide a platform for voices across career stages, field of research, and institutional affiliations. The invited speakers include early-career researchers and established experts with experience in mathematics, biology, and social sciences, with particular attention to underrepresented groups in our discipline. This symposium reflects our belief that diverse perspectives strengthen the scientific community and lead to more impactful research outcomes.
