Title: A global framework for malaria intervention impact: merging geospatial and mechanistic modeling

Description: The push for disease control and elimination has driven the development of both cutting-edge geospatial methods for estimating risk and versatile mechanistic transmission models capable of predicting burden under a range of intervention scenarios. The former provide crucial geographic context but are less causally understood, while the latter are more mechanistically correct but often woefully inaccurate in practice. Using the example of malaria on the African continent, we present a framework for harnessing the strengths of each method to assess current and future intervention impact. Along the way, we hope to show that there is a fruitful and generalizable complementarity between statistical models and our baseline understanding of mechanisms.

Remember: slide about flexibility of framework, but how it's still subject to computational limits -increasing node count -adding migration
