Abstracts

Talks

Posters

  • Less is more! Think of the poster as an advertisement for your work. You'll be standing there to explain things to people, so you don't need a wall of text. Make it inviting and easy for someone to get the gist as they are walking by.
  • "Elevator pitch" - prepare a 1-2 min max summary of the poster that you can share with people who visit your poster! 2 minutes is the absolute max; you want them to feel like you are having a conversation with them, not giving a mini talk.
  • Logos
  • Printing posters
    • Spoonflower - fabric poster (recommended by Sarah - people love!)
    • Printing on Penn campus
