Self-education runs aground on not knowing where to start, and a list plus a rule fixes that faster than any reading plan. Draw a scientist, spend one evening on what they actually did and what it cost them, and repeat weekly. Forty figures across the sciences and four centuries, including several whose contributions were credited to somebody else at the time. Teachers assign the same draw for presentations. The research is bounded, and no two students end up with the same subject.
