Our monthly community call for the Spatio-Temporal Epidemiological Modeler is scheduled for this Thursday, April 12, at 9 am Pacific Time. As always, we invite the larger scientific community to join in the discussion of this open source tool. Please contact me, judyvdouglas@xxxxxxxxxxx, for call in instructions if you would like to learn more.

3. Bugs
530858: Need way to run different random number seeds for stochastic solver; posted Jamie; assigned Emily; partially fixed by Jamie, updated by Emily (see 2 above)
530546: Avoiding misspellings, alternate spellings in disease – and population decorator; posted Taras; new, stem.ui-inbox
