I mean, I have no idea what the expert climate science groups are but I still trust that they have a better idea of what's going on than I do. In this case, they just happen to know that this is one expert AI group.

You made the right choice. I just graduated, and can feel the effects already with my offers. More importantly, I made many valuable friendships, connections, and learned a ton of theory while publishing papers - all much harder to gain in the real world. Have a great time, and good luck!

The general idea here was to take on the challenge of only using Excel cell equations to simulate Go. In Go, a set of stones on the board is considered a group if all stones are path-connected to each other along horizontal and vertical lines (not diagonals). While conditionally coloring the cells was not hard, determining which stones formed what groups was non-trivial. I had to implement breadth-first search in Excel by duplicating the board state a number of times equal to the maximum stack size, and having each copy of the board state iterate/depend on the last. A lot of cells were used :)

Also looking for feedback from experts as to how I could have made this better/more efficient! Thanks!

I think the fact that you're thinking about it a lot and setting such precedents will probably pay off in the long run for your team's communication and documentation - past the duration of this latest scare.
