In this episode we'll learn how to tell a story about data by using the network's gravity centers or hubs.We'll find out that hubs come in many forms and stem from different notions of what it means to be central in a network. We'll learn how to find them and how to apply this knowledge to many fields, like social media, advertising and... even on Game Of Thrones.No spoilers.PLS review here: http://bit.ly/NETfrix_ReviewTranscripts are available on SNApod.netSee you on the other side of NETfrix.

What do Facebook, Bitcoin and an ad campaign for designer glasses have in common? They all conform to Network Science laws. These laws are universal and are manifested in a n y network.Understanding these laws would change your perception of the world, and your data. I've warned you - Network Analysis is a powerful tool. Use it wisely - don't lose your head.PLS review here: http://bit.ly/NETfrix_Review

Milgram, the famous researcher from the 60's, set out to find how small is our world and came back with the 6-degrees-of-separation slogan, meaning the human society's network is seemingly just 6 links in diameter. Why seemingly? Because we are going to find out that Milgram got it wrong and the truth about the network is even less intuitive than he imagined. PLS review here: http://bit.ly/NETfrix_Review

What is Network Science?
A network is a representation of reality by using nodes, which represent the factors or actors, and edges to represent the connections between those factors.
At the base of network science is the discovery that networks operate according to universal laws. These laws allows us to deal with complex systems (and big data) and derive many insights from them.
The podcast will combine research and paprers, alongside examples and applications, of network science in a wide variety of fields, including social sciences, complex systems analysis, influence, intelligence, sports, epidemiology, politics, organizational and industrial consulting, and high-tech.
