To me you need a good reason to learn to code something. The good reason in HS should be to explore another area of learning (ie. A two for one). So my thought is either NetLogo or Julia with Agents.jl and learn something about science in the process. Ecology, physics/dynamics, forest fires, whatever. There are so many ways #agentbasedmodels can give that two for one.

#Introduction for a new instance 
I'm a PhD student in Urban and Regional #Planning at the University of #Hawaii
Studying regional revitalization in #Japan, #Korea, and elsewhere in East and Southeast #Asia
I'm a big #JuliaLang fan interested in its applications for social science. I also create #AgentBasedModels
I had a long Convo with my wife this morning about a #biology process she's studying. Inevitably the conversation began to tilt towards agent/rule based descriptions of the process (like "what makes these cells stop migrating"). We have tried to get funding for building #agentbasedmodels of bone healing but the funding agencies mostly aren't interested. Agencies don't "get it" they act as though they think model building is pointless, they want to fund experiments.
#introduction when the database crashed I lost some followers, but because I hadn't backed up my account yet, I am not sure who they all are. As an extended introduction I'll tag some common topics I like to discuss, maybe people will see those.

Without her support, our latest paper on #BushEncroachment in #Savanna systems would never have seen the light of day...
#introduction
Hi all, for those who don't know me. I am an ecologist working on response of biodiversity to global change, mostly in managed systems (forests, farmland, cities) where trees are found. I use modelling tools, particularly #AgentBasedModels. Very keen to redefine "habitat" to make it more functional, and to put #conservation in the interdisciplinary context it requires.
It’s been quite a while folks! Not that I was ever active on Twitter lol. Many great things have happened in my life, including working on some amazing research projects to counter #deepfakes, getting involved in various #AI applications, building prototype #agentBasedModels , being awarded a fellowship, and applying to computer science #PhD programs this season. I’m currently working at one of my dream engineering employers, but I’m very much devoted to following my doctorate dreams 
I've now pivoted from timescales of millions of years, to days/weeks. I'm interested in how sexual conflict in insects changes (or doesn't) when population densities are very low. In particular, can insects' capacity for #parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction) help them survive population bottlenecks?
I hope to address this topic with experiments and #AgentBasedModels / #IndividualBasedModels. I'm also interested in using #MachineLearning to make the #simulation process more efficient.

I am a junior research group leader for #ecoevo #modelling at the University of Hohenheim in Germany.
We study all kinds of #EcologicalNetworks. We want to know how such networks are structured, how they maintain their balance and how they respond to #globalchange. We approach these questions from a theoretical point of view, using computer simulations and mathematics.
