How to research

hi i am a MBBS student from India in 3rd year in first year i studied basic biochemistry and worked with chemical like picric acid, h2so2, hcl etc and it was fascinating it was fun but i miss that but it was also very limited concised to achedemic education but now i want to persue chemistry as a hobby so please guide me that how to research and find stuff procedures and and how to source raw materials and chemical i think my degree and my prior experience working with chemicals will help me in some way but any guidance will be appreciated regarding researching how to make stuff i am inspired by nile red and prussian blue and i really want to persue this as hobbie thank you regards
