"I think scientific education might do more to ease what is a very big transition: from learning what other people once discovered to making your own discoveries."

This is why love the work of 3Blue1Brown[1] and this (Hungarian physics) book so much: they rarely approach a problem from the known solution, but explain how the solution was discovered when there were no existing formulas/algorithms/theories to hold on to.
