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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katharine M.
