I am perfectly fine with you just accepting them all if you can fit them in.

One comment: in the past we have somewhat intentionally mixed talks from 
different disciplines in the same session. That's partly to keep people awake, 
and partly to connect people across disciplines. It is nice to have some common 
theme to a session, but it could be something other than the scientific discipline.
