Presentation |
|
Authors will be required to be present for a
designated two-hour period during the five-hour
poster session. Individuals may present, and be
senior or presenting author, for only one poster
per day. All posters must be confined to the 4'x
8' display board provided. Computer display equipment,
sound or projection equipment or freestanding
displays are not permitted.
Bring your own push-pins or Velcro to affix your
poster material to the display board. All material
must be removable. You may not write, paint or
use paste on the display board.
All posters must be set up in the time allotted
before the session, and must remain up until the
session ends. Materials must then be removed promptly
from the board and your area cleaned up. AAAS
will not be responsible for materials left on
boards after the Poster Session.

Design Suggestions |
| — |
Allow ample time to prepare your poster. Use
a crisp, clean design and a strong title. Do not
tell the entire research history. Present only enough
data to support your conclusions and show the originality
of the work. The best posters display a succinct
statement of major conclusions at the beginning,
followed by supporting text in later segments and
a brief summary at the end. |
| — |
For ease of transport, make poster elements small
enough to package and carry (approximately 17"
x 22" / 42.5cm x 55cm). Be sure to pack a measuring
tape, push pins or Velcro, and a sketch of the poster
layout so you will be prepared to set up the poster
quickly. |
| — |
All posters should feature a title, your name,
the name of the institution where the research was
performed and should credit others, as appropriate.
The title lettering should be about 2" to 3"
(5cm to 7.5cm) with subheadings 1/2" to 1"
high (1.25 to 2.5 cm). |
| — |
All lettering should be legible from about five
feet (1.5m) away. Text material should be approximately
24 points (1/4"/.625cm). |
| — |
Poster elements should be mounted with an adhesive
on 1/8" (.313cm) foam-core board. Boards thicker
than this will be difficult to pin up. |
| — |
Convert tabular material to graphic display,
if possible. |
| — |
Use color to add emphasis and clarity. |
| — |
Make illustrations simple and bold. Enlarge photos
to show pertinent details clearly. |
| — |
Displayed materials should be self-explanatory,
freeing you for discussion. |
| — |
Handouts of your abstracts should be available
for interested viewers. |
| — |
No demonstration experiments or three-dimensional
displays are allowed in a poster session. |
