Join us for the kickoff of the Julia Systems Biology community calls! Save the date: **December 13**  
Time: 6 pm UTC  
Speakers:

1. [Torkel Loman](https://julialang.slack.com/team/UC6B1TT7B) will demonstrate the integration of [Catalyst.jl](https://github.com/SciML/Catalyst.jl) with various packages relevant to systems biology. He will discuss what features are currently supported, for which support is underway, and also request input from the community on what features should be prioritized.
2. [Sebastian Persson](https://julialang.slack.com/team/U059ZL0LB6Z) will introduce [PEtab.jl](https://github.com/sebapersson/PEtab.jl), a powerful optimization software tailored for parameter estimation challenges specified in the PEtab format.

If you need help with a specific problem or want to discuss your thoughts, join our breakout rooms after the talks. Please also spread the word! Invite your colleagues and students who share an interest in Julia Systems Biology to the event and the [mailing list](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0jHI7vv8dFFlAQObC9CzFpekasWWMm_aznCjTmCAkcYH5Cg/viewform?usp=sf_link).
