About this episode
George and David discuss the application of PBDM modelling in public health and its interdisciplinary potential.
George and David explore how the PBDM modelling approach could extend beyond agroecology into public health and epidemiology. They discuss similarities and differences between modelling ecosystems and disease systems, the potential for compositional frameworks to connect models across scales, and the broader opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration. The conversation highlights both the conceptual challenges and the long-term vision of using more holistic models to inform better public health decisions.
