[Graduate-research-list] "The Academic Pin-up - How to make a superb poster" - 26th January 2005

'The Academic Pin-Up: How To Make A Superb Poster' Dr David Donaldson, Psychology Cottrell 2B121, 2pm - 4pm 26th January 2005 Academics present their work in a variety of ways, from published papers to keynote talks. One very important but often neglected method of disseminating work is via poster presentations. This session will provide an introduction to the academic poster - how and why posters are used at conferences and meetings. Students will be provided with a selection of posters from real conferences and discussion will focus on what discriminates a good poster from a bad one. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of how to generate a poster, the session will be concerned with how to communicate clear, concise and relevant information to the intended audience.
