Full Title: Understanding the Dynamics of Socio-Epidemiological Systems: Tipping Points and Models of Contagion

The spread of fads, scientific ideas and the growth and stability of communities can also be understood as contagions. In this talk, I would focus on contagion in all its glory, including its role on building communities of mentors and understanding the role that initial conditions should play in our definition of meritocracy.
