 ing presentations:\n\nTalk 1: GraphNN with PyTorch for prediction of molec
 ular properties\nSpeaker: Nick Buker\nDescription: This talk walks through
  building a molecular melting point predictor in Python\, starting from st
 ring encodings of chemical structures and working up to graph neural netwo
 rks. We'll cover how to use RDKit to extract molecular properties and how 
 to represent molecules as graphs where atoms are nodes and bonds are edges
  each with their own embeddings. Graph Isomorphism and Graph Attention Net
 works built using PyTorch and PyTorch Geometric will be compared against l
 inear regression and boosting baselines.\n\nLightning Talk: all([]) == Tru
 e and any([]) == False\nSpeaker: Matt Drury\nDescription: The all and any 
 functions reduce lists of booleans to singular truth values\, they're pret
 ty useful! At some point\, everyone gets curious and throws them an empty 
 list\, and the results may seem counterintuitive. We justify the choices h
 ere as the correct ones by introducing a style of reasoning from "universa
 l properties".\n\nTalk 2: TBD\nSpeaker: TBD\nDescription: TBD\n\nWhat to b
