In this podcast the author explains a paper to me, your host, Professor Sune Lehmann (https://sunelehmann.com). The participants are authors of a paper in network science or data science. Sometimes I feature a group of co-authors! The intended audience is PhD students, PostDocs and other scientists. The idea is to start with a bit about the paper's author, the idea for the paper. Then talk about the research itself. And we’ll end by gossiping about the reviewing process, etc. The whole thing is based on the idea that papers are so formal. And that when two people talk to each other informally, it’s often more fun – and tends to get ideas across more effectively.

episode 2: Too Lazy to Read the Paper. Episode 2 with Roberta Sinatra
This time we meet with physicist, expert on science of succes, and all-round amazing person, Roberta Sinatra. She talks about her recent paper "Success and luck in creative careers" (1). Along the way, we talk about her academic background, earlier work and what lead her to discuss the role of luck.
Roberta uses a few slides for talk, you can find them here if you're listening to the audio podcast http://www.robertasinatra.com/pdf/Sinatra_toolazytoreadthepaper...
episode 3: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 3 with Dirk Brockmann
Via the response to the first couple of episodes I realized that not only my science-friends listen to the podcast, but many other people.
So while I want to keep this part short, I should probably provide a short intro to present the interview subject.
Today’s guest is Dirk Brockmann.
Dirk is a physicist and complex systems researcher. He’s a professor at the Department of Biology, Humboldt University of Berlin and the Robert Koch Institute, Berlin...
episode 4: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 4 with Leidy Klotz
Today’s guest, Leidy Klotz, is a professor at the University of Virginia. He studies the science of design: how we transform things from how they are - to how we want them to be. Leidy wants to apply his work outside of academia:. He wants address climate change and systemic inequality, Leidy also works directly with organizations including the World Bank.
Leidy has written more than 80 articles and two books...
episode 5: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 5 with Renaud Lambiotte
Today’s guest is Renaud Lambiotte
Renaud is an associate professor at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University, investigating processes taking place on large networks.
In the episode, we talk about his story in science, the joy and value of exploring without a particular purpose, doing a PhD without publishing any papers, … and how reading classical texts by Boltzman and others early on has shaped the work Renaud does even to this day...
episode 6: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 6 with Gourab Ghoshal and Petter Holme
I’ve got a treat for you today. Today’s author’s are Gourab Ghoshal and Petter Holme, who are here to talk about a classic paper. A paper they co-authored and published in PRL in 2006. The paper has a fantastic title, which is basically also a mini abstract. It is called “Dynamics of Networking Agents Competing for High Centrality and Low Degree” (1)...
episode 7: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 7 with Alice Schwarze
Today on the Pod is Alice Schwarze. We talk about Alice’s paper "Motifs for processes on networks". Super exciting work! Before we get to the paper, we also talk about memes, how to get into Oxford, and being a young researcher today.
Alice is a postdoctoral research scholar at the Department of Biology at the University of Washington. Her research combines ideas and methods from applied mathematics and network science to study complex systems in biology and neuroscience...
episode 8: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 8 with Martin Rosvall
Big talk on the pod today. My guest is Martin Rosvall. A network science legend. The creator of the InfoMap community detection algorithm (1).
Martin’s group (2) studies information flows through social and biological systems to understand their inner workings. By simplifying myriad network interactions into maps of significant information flows, they aim to address research questions about how diseases spread, plants respond to stress, and life distributes itself on Earth...
episode 9: Too Lazy to Read the Paper: Episode 9 with Marta Sales-Pardo and Roger Guimera
Today on the pod is Marta Sales-Pardo & Roger Guimera.
What a great talk. We could have gone on for hours. Peer review, power-laws, becoming scientists, Bayesian statistics, and much, much more.
Marta and Roger study fundamental problems in all areas of science including natural, social and economic sciences. They have expertise in a broad set of tools from statistical physics, network science, statistics and computer science...
episode 10: Too Lazy to Read the Book: Episode 10 with Dashun Wang
It’s Episode 10 and season finale time. But not to worry, #LazyPod will be back after the summer break.
Today on the pod is Dashun Wang!
Dashun is an Associate Professor and the Founding Director of the Center for Science of Science and Innovation at Northwestern University.
He works on the Science of Science, turning the scientific method upon ourselves, using amazing new datasets and tools from complexity sciences and artificial intelligence...
