Somewhere in your poster must be a statement about the biological relevance of your work. Limit jargon usage. Judges and viewers are from varied backgrounds and may not be familiar with terms used in your field . Define all abbreviations used in your paper. Your main priority is to get your point across to the viewer and to fulfill the judging criteria.
Many posters are on display in the basic science departments at any time.
If this is your first time to present a poster, we recommend that you view these examples. Oral presentations are limited to 15 minutes. During that time there will be no interruptions by the judges. Following the 15 minute period, there will be 5 minutes for the judges' questions to be answered. Point deductions will be enforced if the 15 minute time frame is exceeded.
