## Agenda and notes
* Discussion with enrichment student Rachael Pirie - 3D shape representation in Chemistry (Intros, 10 min presentation + 5 min discussion)
    * Sebastian: 
        * are structures represented as vector? 
            * Yes, they are and similarity is measured using a defined metric.
    * Evie:
        * Why other methods score lower values?
        * Is ML applied to the vector representation or extracted numerical data? 
            * applied to vectors, aim to apply to 3D vector shape
    * Alan:
        * Why are rings approximated to circles?
            * Donut shapes don't work with the maths used in this method
* Review poll results and decide new meeting timeslot

    * Debrief from CEFAS meeting
    * Ethics form - Follow-up with Scott
    * Long description
        * Alan: 
            * Scivision is modular framework that will help put the models and data together
            * Reflect if scivision will provide functionalities/functions for model training
* Discuss commencement of REG time for Scivision
    * Initial priorites/milestones
        * Intake drivers for cryo-EM and CT scan ISQs
        * Xarray as the unified format? 
    * Meeting structure going forward: Separate DS4S & scivision?
