Google Scholar

Type into your search bar: Google Scholar and open an amazing portal to scientific data. PubMed is another good source. There are many reliable sources. Beware AI has been recognised in some recently.

Books

Audiobooks are a great way to get two things done at once. I find doing dishes or weeding are great mundane tasks where I can learn on the go.

Socials

Social media (including podcasts) are tarnished with faux info. Search qualified professionals and follow them if you're looking for a specific topic to do a deep dive. In a month of that, you can absorb such a great spectrum of data. Discern your opinion finding what resonates with you.
