"Creating an Effective Research Poster"
Presenter: Jonathan Aubuchon Ouimet, Graduate Student, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department, Phillip Lab
Students will learn how to design a scientific poster that attracts the reader's eye, uses the right amount of background for contextual clarity, and conveys research results clearly and without hyperbole. The mechanics of putting everything together on the poster, including charts, graphics, references, and acknowledgments, will be covered. Students will also learn how to develop an oral presentation about their research that will leave the reader with a deeper appreciation for the significance of their results, technical skills, and intellectual contributions to the research project.
