    3-017-StackedCoffeeFiltersFalling-ModelingScenario
    Data on free falling 2, 4, 6, and 8 stacked coffee filters is offered. Students form a model using a resistance term proportional to velocity, velocity squared, or velocity to some general power. Parameters need to be estimated and models compared.

    A chemistry graduate student is collecting data on a chemical reaction and does a poor job of collecting the data. Indeed, he only collects the data at the start and end of a number of three minute intervals and does not note the times.

    2015-Heiko_Enderling-Integrating experimental data to calibrate quantitative cancer models
    For quantitative cancer models to be meaningful and interpretable the number of unknown parameters must be kept minimal. We focus on a tumor hierarchy of cancer stem and progenitor non-stem cancer cells.
