You guys know about Paw Patrol? It’s a kid’s TV show where a band
of pups solve mysteries, help people, and do engage in other kid-friendly

Up until a few months ago, when people asked what the advantages of
Julia were, I usually mentioned its speed, maintainability, and how
easy it was to run your code in a distributed way. Now, I usually add that Chris

(DifferentialEquations.jl). Check out the comparison with other
packages. I thought it would be useful to give a brief overview of
one very useful feature it has when solving ecological problems.
