For this episode of Relatively Prime Samuel decided that instead of speaking to a guest they would instead talk about the research they are conducting now that they are a <a href="https://www.lib.umich.edu/users/hansensm">Mathematics &amp; Statistics Librarian</a>. This research looks into how the citations of mathematical publications age over time, and its discussion includes a first for Relatively Prime &#8211; Data Sonification! These sonifications were created using <a href="http://jonathanmiddleton.com/">Jonathon Middleton&#8217;s</a> website <a href="http://musicalgorithms.ewu.edu/">Musical Algorithms</a> (you hear more about Jonathan and this site on the Relatively Prime Season 1 episode <a href="http://relprime.com/thescore/">The Score</a>)
