From Academia to Social Media

This post will look at different ways that one of these journal authors uses social media, whether in professional or private means. However, although this assignment asks us to find one of these authors social media presence, many of them may not actually have social media or that many different types of social media.

I chose to try and find the social media presence of Michele Brocca, an architect in Italy. Michele Brocca has a LinkedIn and possibly a YouTube account. Like many people, I cannot find this particular engineer on many social media sites. Many of the civil engineers in the journal that I found do not have social media accounts or the accounts they do have cannot be confirmed to be the person that I am looking for.

Michele has a LinkedIn account that just gives the job location in Italy and the fact that Michele is in construction. The YouTube account seems rarely used and when used is just for recreational things like watching anime or listening to music, although there is one engineering related video. Otherwise this person doesn't do many things on social media and there isn't much to learn.

The piece that Michele did in the ASCE journal is called Size Effect in Concrete Columns. This is an article that is a distinct report style article, presenting an experiment's findings. This article is all business just like the LinkedIn account. However the article is much different from the YouTube account that I think is Michele's, the YouTube account is all fun and relaxation and the article is all business. The article does however have some moments of historical background which provides a break from the strict nature of a presentation.
