With Sune Lehmann, we explore his unconventional journey from traditional physics to the wild world of social data science and interdisciplinary research. We discuss the challenges of stepping into new fields, the process of unlearning and relearning, and the art of developing an instinct for meaningful research questions. Sune shares his thoughts on blending theory with real-world application, the evolving nature of the scientific inquiry, and what it takes to stay innovative in a rapidly changing landscape.
Sune is a Professor of Networks and Complexity Science at the Technical University of Denmark and a Professor of Social Data Science at the Center for Social Data Science (SODAS) at the University of Copenhagen. In this conversation, he reflects on the balance between deep analytical work and the hands-on excitement of experiments, all while mentoring the next generation of researchers.
Whether you're an early-career scientist or simply curious about how data shapes our understanding of human behavior, this discussion offers valuable insights and thought-provoking perspectives.

The message was not authentic, with the real Zelenskiy soon denying the claim on his official Telegram channel, but the incident highlighted a major problem: disinformation quickly spreads unchecked on the encrypted app. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. Under the Sebi Act, the regulator has the power to carry out search and seizure of books, registers, documents including electronics and digital devices from any person associated with the securities market. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Also in the latest update is the ability for users to create a unique @username from the Settings page, providing others with an easy way to contact them via Search or their t.me/username link without sharing their phone number.
