Poster vs. Manuscript • Posters have much greater visual impact.
• Contain less text.• Most of the space will be used to illustrate the
results (images, tables, graphs or charts).• The materials and methods and discussion sections
are brief. • Only the essential images, tables or graphs should
be selected.• Author decides layout.

A good poster:• Tells a story.• Can be read from more than 5-7 feet away (1.5 -2 m).• Poster content should be 60 percent images, 40 percent
text.• Is interesting and eye-catching.• Has a simple, uncluttered design.• Uses clear language and images in a logical sequence.• Summarizes key points without excess detail.

The Poster Session Itself • Practice your poster overview.• Don’t talk only to your friends at the session—the idea is
to network and share ideas with others• Smile and greet people, get their buy-in (e.g., “Can I give
you a 1-minute overview of our poster?”)• Develop a 1-minute, 3-minute, and 5-minute overview of
your poster
