DESIGNING POSTERS
If
you missed the "how to make a poster" workshop, good advice is
available in Pechenik's book (on reserve in SciLi) and at http://www.ncsu.edu/project/posters
Focus on how you can best present your project visually to a broad
audience. Definitely ask for feedback from your PI and labmates as you
go
along.
CREATING POSTERS
You
will be thumbtacking or clipping your poster to a foam board on an
easel. The board measures
32" x 40"and can be used horizontally or vertically, but DO NOT glue
anything directly to the board, so it can be re-used. Especially
for first-timers, making separate panels gives you more versatility.
Starting July 28, colored
poster board will be available in room 205 HA (MB&B office), and a poster-making station with
a large paper cutter, a sample mounting board, and some supplies will
be set up in a room TBA. Please keep this area clean for other
users, and be very careful with overspray if you use spray adhesive.
If you are planning a to print on the
poster printer, you must schedule in advance to use (and pay for) the
printer. The Wesleyan Hughes Program does not pay for this.
POSTER DRAFT WORKSHOP on Monday, July 30 is open to all. Bring your outline,
mockup of some panels, etc. -- whatever you have -- to get feedback
from each other and Dr. Appel. (It will be in 314 Shanklin at 1 pm.)
SETUP
Easels,
foam boards, push pins, and clips will be in the lobby upon your
arrival for setup Friday at 10:30. There will be a booklet for all of
the attendees (including you) listing the names, titles, abstracts and
poster # of each participant. Check the booklet to see which board # to
use. It is often easiest to put the board on the ground to pin up your
panels.
TAKEDOWN
At the end of the session, please take your
poster downstairs, remove it from the white foam board, and re-mount
it, again based on poster #, in the basement corridor (outside
introductory biology laboratories). All boards and easels must be
returned to the Science Center lobby at the end of the session.
JOINT POSTERS and SPECIAL NEEDS
Occasionally,
students who have worked together on a project, with the approval of
their PI choose to make a joint poster instead of two related
poster.
If you are planning that, please let us know on your abstract form, so
we can give the pair a single number, but double-sized board.
Similarly, if you have separate but related posters, let us know to
make sure you get adjacent numbers. If you have special needs for
your poster, such as access to a power supply for a computer displa,y
please let us know by Monday, July 28, so we can make arrangements.
LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT POSTER SESSION!
M. Snow and L. F. Appel
