Hi Eran, Thank you for joining us yesterday, we really enjoyed learning more about Vivarium and discussing how our teams can potentially work together. Below is a (long) list of questions our team has for you. We also expressed interest in meeting again prior to your October MISM visit. We will chat internally about timing and topics and reach back out to you 😊 MDSC Questions for Eran * How do you decide the level of metadata required for Vivarium models? * Does Vivarium follow MIRIAM? * What other groups are developing vivarium models, or converting their models to vivarium? * What kinds of meetings do you/your lab attend? * For modeling * For standards and FAIR? * Could vivarium be used for the individual and population scales, not just cells/tissues? What would that take? * Are their lessons that we can take from the bigraph/compartmental hierarchy that might extend to multiscale models that use many distinct agent types? * How do we think about communicating uncertainty when uncertainty at one scale can magnify at another scale? * The platform we are building may need to inform responses to future outbreaks. What validation, versioning, provenance, or compatibility checking may we want to consider as we develop the platform if there is the potential for bad models to be combined with good models? * As a disease platform, we may need to host/run large models. How might we want to think about that now in the early stages of development? * Where and how in vivarium 2 are: * Agents used * LLMs used * What are the minimum requirements to run workbench with a setup similar to what was demoed? Do you have links to any documentation?
