Planning to present a poster at a conference? ScienceCareers collected tips from researchers across disciplines. ⬇

Poster presentations at scientific conferences can provide early-career researchers with valuable opportunities to practice their communication skills, receive feedback on their research, and expand their network. “By discussing my work one-on-one with other researchers, [I’ve found] I can identify what worked well and what needs improvement,” says Aura Alonso-Rodríguez, a Ph.D. candidate in natural resources at the University of Vermont.

—Martina Maritan, staff scientist in computational structural biology at the Scripps Research Institute and visual science communicator at 3D Protein Imaging I will always try to prepare at least a few weeks in advance. Conferences may have slightly different formatting guidelines, so it is important to check them and consider how much time you may need to reformat a poster if you’re repurposing a previous poster you created. With the move to digital conferences, make sure that you also give yourself enough time to properly navigate uploading portals.

I start by asking myself: 1. What narrowed-down topic am I presenting? 2. What are two to three important background knowledge items to contextualize the research? 3. What are my key findings? 4. What data back up these findings? Each of these questions will then be tackled in a separate section of the poster. I also add a small conclusion section, references , and acknowledgements.

ScienceCareers Here 'are' some tips, smarty pants

ScienceCareers After my many years on the sea, best tip I have would be to phrase your work simply enough with minimal complex jargon, so everyone can understand. Things are a lot more diverse these days. Have to explain a lot more to these new transfer hires I find. Simplify everything.👍👍🏿

ScienceCareers Make overly complicated diagrams and use esoteric language that’s hard to read. Thanks

ScienceCareers 👌🏻
