Description

The Maine Question is a podcast series hosted by Ron Lisnet of the University of Maine. Three times each academic semester, Lisnet is joined by faculty, students, and experts to engage in conversation around just one question. In our complex world, answers to a single question are not always so simple. No matter the topic — big, small, wide, or narrow — we’ll make sense of today’s world through the research happening right here on campus. And you’ll meet the people making a difference. Here, you can explore how tiny pet store fish can lead to groundbreaking medical research or what the future holds for manufacturing and outdoor recreation in Maine. You’ll find the spark for your next big idea or the perfect fun fact to share with family and friends. What’s your question?
