@hisashi_is: 10 things to tell lab students who are attempting poster presentations for the first time.

  1. Most people will try to pass by without stopping. So, make your catchy headlines and figures large enough to catch their interest even from a distance.
  2. The majority of people who approach your poster won’t intend to listen to a detailed explanation. It’s good to approach them and ask, “Would you like a brief explanation in one minute?”
  • This thread is informative.

  • I saw somewhere that it was interesting to have a large summary in big letters at the center of the poster. I want to imitate that. (blu3mo)

  • Originality doesn’t come to mind
