Dear all, we are organizing online tutorials to learn more and exchange information about modeling microbial ecology at multiple scales. If you are interested in microbiomes and would like to know more about how they can be modeled, then please join these tutorials. The first tutorial will be given by Veronika Dubinkina <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Td1pQmIAAAAJ&hl=ja>. She will discuss consumer-resource models. Including the classical examples of MacArthur and Tilman and recent explorations in modeling microbiome ecology ( e.g., https://go.nature.com/38ei5UT <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://go.nature.com/38ei5UT&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1615617910528000&usg=AFQjCNFW5ag7nnVDsBb0KjfpNiZHlxXt2A> and https://bit.ly/3t5bdBx <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://bit.ly/3t5bdBx&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1615617910528000&usg=AFQjCNGr0-r3pGfwUi1EBk_Xm9FX3bVLoQ> ) The next tutorial will be announced in mid-April.
