To prepare the U.S. for the next #outbreak, the CDC is giving Northeastern U. $17.5 million to launch and lead an #infectiousdisease prediction center. bit.ly/3ZrK9xI

MultilayerGraphs.jl allows for flexible and user-friendly construction of (general) multilayer graphs while retaining compatibility with Graphs.jl and Agents.jl. It has been developed with a "sub-ecosystem" role in mind, enabled by the combination of traits and type hierarchy.

Hiring! Opening of a new post-doc position Università Bocconi Dondena Centre on European Research Council (ERC) funded project IMMUNE on epi modelling, vaccination and human behaviours. Apply here: unibocconi.eu/faculty-postdoc
