2) Understanding the role of Ro in epidemiological models,

3) The life history of Great Lakes salmon,

4) The relative importance of peer pressure in smoking initiation,

5) Modeling the spread of MRSA in health care facilities,

6) Modeling learning and adaptation in human-natural resource interactions.
