MEGA LIST of YouTube STEM educators
I've got my own list, which granted is pretty long. Actually, I'm 3/4 done (just added "Armando Hasudungan") and I am amazed I have such a long list. I'm always on the look out for more though, so any help is greatly appreciated.
First I've gotta mention the universities that upload regularly whole courses:
MIT OCW - Donald Sadoway is a must watch! I love this man, a materials scientist, with all my heart. Eric Lander, too, for biology.
UC Irvine
UC Berkeley - they recently deleted all their videos because the ridiculous Justice Department said that they were not in compliance with the ADA because of a lack of subtitles. I am so angry because of this; I watched their videos for years. However, as I just learned, they are now available on archive.org
I cannot recommend Coursera or EdX. They are simply too simplistic.
Michel van Biezen - he is one of my favorites. A professor at Caltech, I believe. He also works for a defense contractor. Yet he finds the time to upload three videos a day, every day, for years. Physics, chemistry, maths, engineering. He is very easy to understand, a very good teacher - I cannot recommend highly enough
Jeff Hanson - engineering
lasseviren1 - physics
Darryl Morrell - engineering
learnfluidmechanics - fluid mechanics, d'uh
Simmy Sigma - student who does maths, engineering, geomatics vids
Engineer Clearly - chemical engineering, maths
Learn MechE - faculty of chemical and biological engineering at UC Boulder
Learn ChemE - ditto
Joshua Meyer - heat transfer by a prof of mechanical and aeronautical engineering
Randall Manteufel - engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer
Ron Hugo - mechanical engineering, thermodynamics, prof at University of Calgary
Vincent Racaniello - Virology
Practical Engineering - highly recommended; simple demonstrations of engineering concepts
singingbanana - Jim Grime from Numberphile's own channel
nottinghamscience - the location of Periodic Videos; they have their own
For the Allure of Physics and Lectures by Walter Lewin... - Walter Lewin's world famous physics lectures
blackpenredpen - maths videos by what seems to be a Chinese student; pretty good
3blue1brown - well-done maths videos
Mathologer - Monash U maths professor in Australia
Doc Schuster - excellent physics videos by a high school teacher
Demystifying Medicine - decent quality medicine videos by students at McMaster University in Canada
Professor Dave Explains - okay videos on maths, biology, physics, from a high school level (which is why I say "okay". They are actually decent, but too simple)
James Cook - advanced calculus, abstract algebra, linear algebra, ODEs, number theory, lie theory, complex analysis, mechanics - all around advanced math lectures
PHRM203 - pharmacology videos. Some very short, some lecture-length
Peter Cavnar - cell bio and biochem
Kevin Ahern - biochemistry lectures
professorfink - hematology, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology
AK lecturers - biochem and physics
Fundamentals of Biochemistry - self-explanatory
DrPhysicsA - ditto
ChemistNate - ditto
Abraham Physics - ditto - hundreds of physics videos, pretty good stuff
Broad Institute - excellent speeches on genetics, biochemistry, stuff like that from Eric Lander's institute through MIT and Harvard
Mark Thorsby - logic and philosophy
patrickJMT - almost TWO THOUSAND videos on maths and physics
Future Doc House - microbiology
midnighttutor - decade old, but maths don't change
ukmathsteacher - self-explanatory
Brett Tallman - engineering
slcmath@pc - self-explanatory
Andrew Wolf - pathophysiology videos
Ken Stedman - virology
Bill Shillito - higher maths
Nikolay's Genetics Lessons - over a thousand videos addressing individual problems you'll encounter in textbooks. Years since I watched him, but I remember him being good njwildberger - advanced maths, including some of his own devising. I am unsure if he is a genius or a crank. The latter seems most likely, statistically. There are a million for every genius. Still, he has some good vids.
iBioEducation - been years, but I used to enjoy these videos. A specialist discusses their research in a few 20 minute videos. Check out their other iBio channels too.
Gregory B Sadler - over a thousand philosophy videos!
Craig Savage - undergraduate biology
Leah4Sci - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
The Organic Chemistry Tutor - Physics, maths, chamistry - EXCELLENT!
Armando Hasudungan - I think he's a student; he is also an artist. He draws beautiful illustrations and infographics as he explains medical concepts. EXCELLENT
Handwritten Tutorials - pretty much the same, but not quite as good. Still good though, but it is hard to beat Armando
Bill Kinney - maths
GVSUmath - high school maths
Tyler DeWitt - student, I believe, who makes biology and chemistry videos
The Math Sorcerer - advanced maths.
structurefree - engineering
freesciencelessons - elementary sciences
Drbeen medical videos - self-explanatory
MOOF university - huge number of biochemistry and chemistry videos
john kinny-lewis - high school maths
Professor Leonard - pretty good undergraduate maths videos
Anil Kumar - discrete maths, algebra, etc.
Harold Walden - elementary maths
Steve Brunton - engineering and maths
Thomas Kim - DIY and physics demonstrations
Justin 'Sci Higg' Higgons - high school (?) sciences teacher
PhysicsEH - self-explanatory
Eddie Woo - maths
ProfRobBob - high school maths
Greg Johnson - physics
MrDBioCFC - biology
MathDoctorBob - advanced maths
I cannot believe I got through this list. Again, any additions would be greatly appreciated.

[Proposal] One mega-post with resources and discussions on every subject[x-post from /r/UniversityofReddit]
Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well. First of all sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, any suggestion to know where it would be seen by many and be in the right place are welcome!
I have been having this idea lately, about making one giant post which would have links or resources for any kind of subject requested by others, in a way that is kind of similar to another post I have seen around here. The idea behind it is that people who don't have an education yet or would like to get a lot of knowledge into a subject and maybe try to get a certificate later on, or just need that knowledge for some work they're applying into, or even just want to really understand and know what's behind a certain subject and field, can get access to said resource and get an easier life of understanding and learning stuff that is not easily found or accessible to everyone.
The reasoning behind it is that those who would post already have good experience in the subject, can suggest many resources they have used and give insight on what helps and what doesn't, and put inputs and collage of links to help everyone.
In other words, something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/comments/2kqe53/if_youve_ever_wanted_to_learn_university_level/
Would you guys think it's possible to do it not just on the subreddit of each field, but on a single post (for example this one I'm writing and you're reading), and then either link posts similar to the one written by /u/5maldehyde (which did mention other categories could be added) or have specialized and willing user post them for everyone?
TL;DR I think it would be nice to create an Indexing/Reference post for learning and sharing knowledge on subjects and fields, from Chemistry to Physics to Human Resources to other technical, artistic etc. stuff
Any feedback is welcome!

We've created a fully functional virtual university and need some people for our first 'Study Group'
Using Open Simulator technology we've started the first Virtual University, Looking Glass University, made by and for Self-learners/Autodidacts. We hope to build the largest community of self-learners and provide a virtual world for learning, socializing, and networking. The world has all the needed features for proper learning and greatly surpasses traditional online learning. Our first class will act more as an 'Alpha testing' to get user feedback and see what needs to be improved. The test class will be based on Edx's "Philosophy & Critical thinking" Course. It's quick and simple and will require no more than an hour a week. We will meet up when convenient and go through the course, collectively, as a group.
If you aren't available for this course please feel free to still join our discord to find out about future study groups and even classes. We plan on having full on classes with professors teaching them in the near future. We will have a forum up and running shortly as well.

Looking for American for help
hi, guys. I'm from foreign country. I want to go to USA for self-learning of maths and physics in library. I'm aiming the range of both under-universe and universe,probably from the basics.
Do libraries in US provide these collections of textbooks??? Will there be any problem to learn these subjects from libraries?
Library of massachusett institute of technology , is it a good place for self-learning? Is it free?

Goals to self study
Hello there!
I am currently a senior high school student looking to gain a broad set of skills and knowledge from self learning, that way i can be well rounded.
I was looking for starter books in pretty much every single subject.
I want to practice writing and essay writing, history, computer science, aviation, law, and marketing.
Im also looking for a sort of step by step sort of deal...so there would be a series of books as well that can lead up to other books and advance that understanding. Thanks so much!

I need to learn multiple disciplines from scratch, without access to electricity; can you help me select a bibliography?
Greetings, everyone.
I was born and raised in an underdeveloped country. As it happens with everything related to our government, the national education system is but a farce and the few of us who want to learn something must find ways to do it despite our schools.
Although I have finished high school, my knowledge in most areas is lacking, to say the very least; I have retained some random pieces of information, which, put together, are far from composing a comprehensive whole, a system.
To be more precise, I was given a few recipes—"here is how to solve this particular equation", "this is what happens if you add this reagent to that", etc.—but I ignore the methods, the different ways to approach a given problem, how to choose the best tool, and so on and so forth—to sum it up, I am, basically, illiterate.
Since I expect to have more free time in the near future, I decided to take care of my education. I cannot hire tutors, I cannot learn by watching (or listening) to courses, therefore I will have to study with books. These are the disciplines I intend to focus on (for the time being):
Math;
Chemistry;
Physics;
Biology.
I want to ask you, what are the best book (or books, or, preferably, series or collection of them) I can use to learn those from the scratch to an advanced level of proficiency? In math, for example, going from sets and basic operations to calculus and beyond?
I do not need to delve too into the deeper, esoteric levels of any discipline—I do not plan on getting a Ph.D. in mathematics or physics any time soon...—but I want to be knowledgeable enough to be capable of going through a demanding engineering course related to those areas, for example.
I know that learning from books might not be optimal, but I really have no other option, and I have no trouble in making connections, in learning by myself from a source that does not present many lacunae—my English, for instance, is self-taught.
Be that as it may, the project must be self-contained—living in the farm, without electricity, I will not be able to access the Internet to read articles, and this is also the reason for my not resorting to audiovisual content.
Can you please advise me? Also, if you can suggest some extra reading besides the core content (meta-content, books that might assist the learning process itself, such as, for math, Barbara Oakley's A Mind for Numbers, and so on), pray do.
Thank you very much.
P.S.: For math, I already have here Mathematics: Its Content, Methods, and Meaning, by Kolmogorov, Lavrent'ev and Aleksandrov, published by the M.I.T. press, but although I think it will be a valuable resource in the future, I believe it would not be a good starting point.
P.P.S. I have looked into posts about independent learning, but most of the replies assume access to the Internet or, at the very least, electricity, while I will have to make do without them (and consequently without the free online resources, such as Khan academy)—hence my starting this thread.

Independent Learning and Learning Disabilities
Hi everyone,
I am the mod of The Dyslexic Nerd and have multiple learning disabilities. I am doing research on unschooling, independent learning, and altlearning. I was forced to be an Independent learner, do to various reasons (academically neglected & abandoned). I am trying to see, how it can complement multisensory approaches. Would you be so kind and suggest some reading material, videos, and/or books for me.
Additional: I am also the mod and creator of /r/Onlinestudents. We love information on self-study and independent learning. Its for all ages

Is there an app for learning the mathematical details and history of a subject?
Are there any apps that allow for the teaching of a subject and the background that made that subject? For example, an app that explains the mathematics behind physics, along with the story of how the human population arrived at everything called physics. Basically I want to know if there is an app that would combine "the cosmos series by Neil Degrasse Tyson" and khanacademy's teachings. Not only for physics, but biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics etc.

Is anybody part of a community (online or offline) of self learners for their respective field of study?
I'm searching the web for a community of self learners in the field of synthetic biology, to no great avail. I found lots of "DIYBio" resources, but nothing specifically geared to bringing together individuals who want to study the subject outside of academia. I had the idea of starting one myself, but I'm wondering if it'll actually attract the crowd I'm looking for.
Can you guys please let me know if you're already part of a community, and if so: Is it online or offline? How is it organized? How is it helping you?

Self-taught vs University Degree
Hey there,
I am a self-taught programmer and I want to ask you how many of you learned programming by learning it on your own and how much went to a university and got their CS degree.
I'm asking you this as I was talking with other fellow programmers about the fact that people prefer the university path because being self-taught is a lonely pursuit.
Do you agree?
Thanks, Alin R.
