RJ Perry, Laboratory Technical Manager at the VEMI Lab at the University of Maine. VEMI Lab, and the people who make it up, are one of far too many hidden gems in Maine, and hopefully this conversation will put at least a small spotlight on the work they do.

If you are a student at UMaine and you want to work for VEMI, send your resume to RJ! https://umaine.edu/vemi/people/rj-perry/
