Place the references in alphabetical order by author. Poster One of the roles of a scientist is to communicate ideas to other scientists. Discoveries that are not reported die with the discoverer. One of the methods for communicating in the scientific community is through posters. Scientists from all over the world attend conferences where hundreds or even thousands of papers and posters are presented at each conference.
Poster sessions have the advantage of presenting a large number of topics in a single place.
People roam around and spend time reading those posters that are most interesting to them. We will conduct our own poster session, but instead of presenting original research, our posters will address issues. The posters will be displayed in the Willamette atrium for a couple of days during the last week of classes. These projects have been chosen because they are a way of communicating your findings and ideas to the rest of the class. The posters should be about 2 feet by 3 feet on poster board.
