1. What are the names of each interviewee and which social media networks were you able to find each of them on?

Dr. Blowers: LinkedIn Profile

2. How would you describe each interviewee's social media presence? What kinds of things are they talking about or sharing on social media? Write a brief description of what you learned about them through the listed social media feeds.

Dr. Blowers: He doesn't have mush of a professional media presence. Most of on Linkedin are for recommendations of former and current students. His facebook page is personal and closed to outsiders, hence there is no link above. He doesn't appear to have either a twitter or an instagram account.

3. Now return to the piece that this author published in the academic journal (from Blog Posts 6.2). How does their persona on social media differ from their persona in the pages of the academic journal? Be specific and cite details from both the journal and the social media posts you discovered.

Dr. Blowers: There isn't much of a social media presence for Dr. Blowers. In the article he is very articulate and precise in his observations and statements about greenhouse gas emissions. In his LinkedIn posts he is very descriptive about his students and praises them highly.
