I am testing out a new concept of an audiopaper. Think of an audiopaper like an audiobook for academic research papers. Newer generations of scientists have grown up utilizing audio for educational and entertainment purposes in the form of audiobooks and podcasts. Listening to audio is a great way to consume information when you are performing tasks that do not allow you to read, such as while driving, cooking, performing housework, or mindlessly entering data. I am certainly hooked on audio for these reasons, and most of my friends are too!

 

Over the past several years, I have found myself frequently wishing that I could listen to an academic paper as I would a podcast or audiobook. But this simply doesn't exist, and I hope to change that! Below you will find my publication list, with a downloadable MP3 file. It is my hope that this will make my research more accessible to both scientists and non-experts alike. Hopefully this catches on! Please let me know if you enjoy the experience.
