In many fields, the poster presentation is a key form of scholarly communication. This workshop provides an opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to polish a draft poster that they intend to present at a conference.
Please bring a draft poster or a poster you have previously presented in .ppt or similar format.* If you have a laptop computer, bring it to the workshop if possible.
Participate in this workshop and you will:
- Analyze posters and learn what features can make a poster effective
- Evaluate posters prepared by other students and gain valuable constructive criticism from them on your own work-in-progress (or previously presented poster)
- Improve the poster you are currently developing (or have previously presented) and learn to apply those lessons to future posters
The workshop will be led by Dr. Chris Corkery, who has worked in science and research communication for fifteen years. He is currently the Chief Project Engineer of a start-up that makes medical devices for use on the International Space Station.
The workshop will be held on McGill's downtown campus on Tuesday, May 8th, from 1 pm to 3 pm. Registrants will receive the workshop location in a confirmation email.
* If you do not have a poster in draft form, or a poster that you have previously presented, this workshop will be of less value to you.
This form takes about 2 minutes to complete. You must click submit on the third page of this form to complete your registration.
