A good poster is worth a thousand words… but a bad poster is just a bit of messy paper. When it’s time for you to present your research, how are you going to make the most of the opportunity? Aimed particularly at second-year PhD students preparing for conferences, this session considers why we use posters to present our research, what makes a good posters, and some common mistakes. Through critiquing real examples and providing useful tips, this course helps you to present your research in style.
