Have you read “Models of the Mind” by Grace Lindsay? Some good new examples of models in neuroscience.

Ohio tech Ed right now is pretty annoying. Some kind of data usage agreements must be signed by Ed tech companies with each district (or consortium of districts). Some very prominent Ed tech companies still have not signed…

Thanks!

What is a stock and flow diagram?

So what do you think regulates blood glucose? Most physiologists I think would argue that insulin does. By why not insulin receptors or glucose? I think the regulation as the emergent phenomenon is distributed among the players and not controlled by a single entity.

No, I think your intuition is spot on. It is no longer glucose and that's why it goes away (outflow from the system).

Yes, that is probably what I would do. In this system your target function is how organic carbon compounds are ingested, transported, and stored in a body. Cellular respiration catabolizes (destroys) those organic compounds causing them to leave the system.

The pedagogy guide of BioInteractive’s Model Builder, or Christian’s book, are a good start.

Awesome! Why not add cellular respiration as an outflow from Carbon in the Tissues? I see you wrote the formula. This would illustrate it as an open system that would not necessarily accumulate carbon even though constantly feeding.
