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.

"Markets were cheering this economic recovery and return to strong economic growth, but the cheers will turn to tears if the inflation outbreak pushes businesses and consumers to the brink of recession," he added. 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. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. "The result is on this photo: fiery 'greetings' to the invaders," the Security Service of Ukraine wrote alongside a photo showing several military vehicles among plumes of black smoke. In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later.
