Poster sessions are the real reason for conferences.

My CV is forever altered by the impact of catching covid in early 2020 (likely on a trip to present at a conference). I am mostly at peace with this now. But I’m not at peace with how academia still pretends we are not forever altered by the pandemic & concomitant crises.

In this Brief Research Report, Zen Faulkes at McMaster University considers the “wall of text” #visual structure of academic #conference posters📃 Could commonly used formats by academics be impeding their scientific #communication? 📢Check out the full article here:

I put it to you that the Better Posters book qualifies as a trashy summer book best suited for reading on a beach, if that helps

Participants at one conference reported: • 56% learned new techniques • 64% learned new skills • 70% got new ideas • 91% gained new contacts that improved their research doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…

Funny story about this one, omw to the conference I forgot my poster in the bus. After a day of scavenger hunting, I found my poster, presented it, and won the poster prize. What a great recovery. Thank you Chemical Science DaltonTransactions Chemical Communications for sponsoring the prize

This poster drew crowds. Lesson: If the work establishes some sort of record - biggest, smallest, oldest - you put that in your TITLE. That kind of content is GOLD 💛. gsa.confex.com/gsa/2018AM/web…

Thank you @neuroethology @icn2024berlin for reserving seats in the U-bahn for people with poster tubes ! So thoughtful ! 😃

I am so proud of my mom who has been an RN for 40 years, went back for a masters in her 50s, started doing research, and is presenting a poster at a conference for the first time today. I hope I also keep doing new things when I am 62!

On posters, use bold for emphasis instead of italics.

I am not deleting this account, but I have significantly cut back on my use of this platform. Currently, I am most active at: bsky.app/profile/doctor… No dedicated poster feed there, but happy to discuss design!

🆕Blog post! We should study poster sessions for a view of research that hasn't been distorted by file drawer problems and publication biases. betterposters.blogspot.com/2024/09/poster…

I can’t explain it but this image makes me want to go to a conference where people exchange tiny posters with QR codes on the back to the full poster

This time I’m gonna try A5 #handouts with a big QRCode to download the poster and a smaller image just as a reminder. Will it be appreciated?
