## Resource

People believe research matters. What they don’t always see is how it shows up in their lives. In this episode of Pulse Check: The Reputation Rethink, host Dayana Kibilds digs into one of the clearest findings from Ologie’s national study: across politics, geography, and education level, the public overwhelmingly agrees that research — especially in STEM and medicine — is higher education’s most important contribution beyond teaching.
