Recently, award-winning journalist Katie Couric partnered with 3M to launch the State of Science Index (SOSI), a global survey assessing how the world feels about science.

Katie sat down with CEO Mike Roman to learn more. Watch their conversation here to learn why 3M sponsors this survey in the first place, what Mike thinks is the most important finding from the survey and what he thinks is the secret sauce of 3M. He also shares how a boy growing up in a family of teachers and lawyers turned out to be an engineer and, ultimately, the CEO of 3M.

Visit the SOSI website to explore all the findings from the survey.
