Alpha Scholars
A study universe (videos, text) that Miguel wants to build — previously called, by mistake, “Off Scholars”.
- Mission: MGALPHA — group of people + measurable objective.
- Destination of the 22h/week (see Jun 11).
Not to be confused with the scholars of the MS&E research, who live in Professors (MSE).
