Presenter Information:
Posters will be presented on expandable poster boards. Tacks will be provided. To ensure your poster fits on our boards, please limit poster size to a maximum of 4’ x 3.5’ (48″ x 42″).
Each poster will be assigned a poster number, with even number posters presented 5:00-5:45 and odd number posters presented 5:45-6:30. Authors should be available during their designated time to answer questions, expand on the material and take part in discussions.
Set up anytime after 3:00 p.m. Friday. Take down follows the poster session at 6:30 p.m. Please leave your poster up for the duration of the poster session.
If you need assistance in printing your poster, contact Beckman printing services.
General Poster Suggestions
- The poster should include (1) a short title, (2) your name, (3) collaborator(s) and adviser(s) names, and (4) their department(s), (5) funding sources, if applicable, (6) research objectives, (7) scientific background and significance to the field, (8) methods, (9) results/findings, (10) interpretation of results, (11) conclusions and directions for future research, (12) references.
- All text and figures should be legible from a distance of 4 to 6 feet.
- All language should be clear and unnecessary jargon avoided. MSI members span many scientific disciplines – don’t assume everyone has the same scientific vocabulary.
- Limit the length of text – well thought out pictures, drawings, charts, figures, etc. can convey more information than a large block of text.
- Be prepared to discuss your research with other attendees. This discussion should be clear and concise and should include the major points presented on the poster.
