During the poster session in August, members of our summer visitor program will get the opportunity to showcase the work and research they have been doing this summer. Perhaps some of you have presented posters before, perhaps not. This talk will cover the basics of poster presentation: designing an attractive format; how to present your information clearly; what to include and what not to include. Presenting a poster is different from writing a report or giving a presentation. This talk will cover the differences, and suggest ways to avoid common pitfalls and make poster sessions work more effectively for you.
Presented by Jonathan Carter (Associate Laboratory Director for Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab).
No events this day – Lab Holiday.
