FYI I added a line item to the to do list to update the Vivarium Modeling Strategy section so we don't forget about it.
Note: I specified the changes to make in the Data sources and values table, but I did not edit the Vivarium Modeling Strategy section to explain these changes, in order to avoid a merge conflict with #1871. We need to remember to update the text for the modeling strategy, either in that PR or after it's merged.
