From Academia to Social Media

      It is an acknowledged fact that as the Internet grows, it is most likely that people will have some sort of social media presence.

The Author
      The author I've decided to try and find on social media is Ara Norenzayan; so far he has been mentioned a lot on t\Twitter but I cannot seem to find him having a personal Twitter. The only Facebook page related to him is about his book "Big Gods". On LinkedIn people who have studied under him or were his assistants are on there but Norenzayan himself is not. Like Twitter he is not explicitly on Reddit, but those on Reddit enjoy his ideas and his writings. He's not personally on YouTube or Tumblr either though he is referenced.

Their Presence 
       Since Ara Norenzayan has no social media presence personally it is hard to describe their presence besides "nonexistent". He has not personally made any sort of contribution on the Internet so I cannot really that I learned anything about him personally.

Who Are They Really?
         The only Ara Norenzayan that I have been able to find is the one that writes in scientific journals and is a member of the scientific communities and an author to multiple books. If these are all a persona then there is no true distinction from a different persona that I was able to find.
