TOTALLY FAIR GRADERS
The university where Rob will be completing his post-doctoral training.
What is Columbia?
Under intense pressure, stars produce new elements by combining old elements through this physical process. If only it were that easy for the STARS to make their final presentations.
What is fusion?
When a function has zero first derivative and positive second derivative at a point, that point is said to be this. It also describes the number of words that should be in any slideshow.
What is a minimum?
The R function that initiates an iteration loop over an index.
What is for?
A diet consisting of many food groups might be considered this. If only a pre-med workload were this as well!
Dan earned his undergraduate degree from this state school in the midwestern US.
One astronomical unit is defined as the distance between these two astronomical bodies. (No, not Matt's and Jocelyn's.)
What are the Earth & Sun?
In Google Slides, "Simple _____" is the default presentation theme—one it would be bright to stick to.
What is Light?
This is used to denote the hierarchical structure of code in Python, unlike in other programming languages.
What is indentation (or white space) (or tab characters)?
This element of a presentation should be free of unnecessary shapes, symbols, and other features that distract from the intrinsic beauty of the research.
What is the background?
The TA who has been at Yale for the shortest amount of time among the three STARS TAs.
Who is Marina?
The celestial equivalent of latitude used to identify locations of stars in the night sky. This could also describe Yale's decision on whether to welcome sophomores back to campus this fall.
What is declination?
It may sound like a deputy's boss, but this font style is outlawed on digital presentations.
What is serif?
The programming language after which R was named, as a play on words... or letters.
What is S?
The sophomores' return to campus will now be this. At least their birthdays weren't forgotten.
What is belated?
All three TAs speak this language in addition to English.
What is Spanish?
The term "galaxy" is derived from the Greek "galaxias kuklos," which translates to "circle of ____."

What is matrix laboratory?
According to Journey, strangers' shadows search up and down this place in the night.
What is the boulevard?
The TA who consistently grades the harshest among the three TAs (even though they feel bad about it!).
Who is Rob?
Unlike the title of this event, a star that explosively sheds only its outer layers without destroying itself is called this.
What is a nova?
DAILY DOUBLE!
What is four?
Python lacks a widely used interface like MATLAB or RStudio; instead, the programming language is accessed via this.
What is the terminal (or the command-line)?
Once laboratories reopen on campus, it will be important to avoid handling potentially hazardous materials while in this state—not to be confused with the permanent state of pandas and grizzlies.
What is barehanded?
