Ok, it's official, I'm a creeper. I'm used to stalking my friends or other people my age on social media, but it's a little weird stalking professionals on social media. Yeah, I definitely feel like I've crossed some kind of line here, but oh well right?

- Verica Buchanan: The only social media I was able to find her on is researchgate.net (for her publications) and the ASU directory profile.
- Dr. David Sbarra: He's more modern and open on social media and I was able to find him on Facebook, Twitter, and he actually was on a Ted talk in Tucson back in 2012.
- Verica Buchanan: Ok so she actually moved from Croatia (a small country right next to Germany) to the US when she was in her 20's with her husband. That being said, she's a very old-school German who doesn't believe in having a social media presence.
- Dr. David Sbarra: On the other hand, Dr. Sbarra has a pretty laid-back and outgoing social media presence. His Instagram and Facebook are full with his kids and their life events and shows his more human (nonprofessional) side while his Twitter and Ted talk shows his more professional side. Even on his Twitter, he retweets and is active in many conversations about different psychological events. Even so, he'll retweet the occasional Tucson weather report.
- Verica Buchanan: Her persona is the same for both social media and in an academic journal since she doesn't necessarily have a social media presence at all.
- Dr. David Sbarra: His persona differs a lot from his social media presence and his professional presence since his social media presence is more relaxed. For instance, his Facebook profile picture is his two kids and there's a picture of him with a sombrero and gardening gloves on....a little far from his professional persona where he conducted a study on how physical activity and body mass predict cognition in the elderly.
