ABM is particularly well-suited for studying complex social systems such as neighborhood dynamics, health behavior spread, child welfare intervention cascades, and community-level resilience.</p> <p>The addition of ABM to the ISSUES Lab&rsquo;s methodological toolkit opens exciting new avenues for our research on structural inequality, environmental justice, and social determinants of health.</p> <p>Congratulations to Keith and Gia on this outstanding achievement! We look forward to seeing how these new computational skills enrich the lab&rsquo;s work.</p>
