As someone who is a few years into their CS career, I wish I knew where to 'restart' learning sciences (bio,chm,phy). I am quickly overwhelmed by the plethora of resources people throw at you when you ask that question (There's Khan Academy, there's OCW, there's actual textbooks, coursera, pop science etc)...

Anyone manage to at least start? If so, where? I mostly forgot my university level science courses.

One option would be to start from what you already know–there are many opportunities to apply CS to life/physical sciences problems. I like rosalind.info, you can start with code and then read independently to fill in any gaps in your knowledge that you come across.

Tbf, I am less worried about CS (I already do a lot of technology stuff to solve my IRL problems, not necessarily coding related either - media servers and such), but more about other sciences.

Reading Asimov's essays and a Brief history by Bryson etc have left me a desire to learn more.
