Poster Presentations
Posters must be mounted between 12:00 PM and 3:30 PM on Friday, March 17th, 2006 in the lobby of the Agricultural Sciences and Industries Building. Posters may be collected between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Tuesday, March 21st. All posters left behind will be discarded on March 22nd by 9:00 AM. Last names A through L will present in the 5:00 to 6:00 PM session; Last names M through Z will present in the 6:00 to 7:00 PM session Please report to the check-in desk to obtain your poster number. Poster Presentation Guidelines Poster size: The posters must be mounted on the exhibit boards provided. The maximum area available is 42 inches wide and 42 inches high. Please bring tacks to mount your poster. Audience: Posters should be prepared to reach an interdisciplinary scientific audience. You may assume the audience has basic scientific knowledge, but do not assume the audience is intimately familiar with your specific field or jargon commonly used in your field. Therefore, you should either avoid that jargon or define and explain acronyms, terms, and concepts. Judging: Judges will be using judging sheets to evaluate your presentation. Please familiarize yourself with this sheet and design your presentation accordingly. The judging guidelines are available online. General: Try to keep it simple! Avoid overcrowding the poster with too much information. Use and include only information that serves to support and clarify your main message. Avoid long sections of text (bulleted points are easier to read than long paragraphs). Keep graphs simple and make sure they are quick to understand. The font of your text should be large enough to read from at least 5 feet away. We recommend that font size be 24 pt or larger. |
