Developer notes

For the Beamer theme to work, we overloaded different latex template partials in Quarto. Notably, we overloaded the title.tex (authors and institute modifications) and before-body.tex (to remove bar on title slide). Further customizations were set in front-matter.tex (designate theme folder, load theme, and set theme specific commands).
