Learn now, sell now - Shuo Bo on doing conference Poster experience sharing

"

Nana Hip is my good friend, the last two conference posters have won awards Oh (quack quack quack applaud)! When she and I were having a good time, it occurred to me that the public could start a column on sharing experiences in the field. I invited her to write the first tweet of the column! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to.

Good luck with your research! Also welcome to find me in the background to submit articles!

"

First of all, I would like to thank Zhang Xiaojing for giving me the opportunity to do this experience sharing ah, I feel very honored ah (Zhang Xiaojing: hahahaha I also).

In fact, about doing Poster, I am a white man before reading the doctorate, a serious poster has not been done, the earliest is still in the undergraduate, with Zhang Xiaojing made a sticker full of flower petals and all the names of classmates in the publicity newspaper, at that time really proud of it (Zhang Xiaojing: the past is unbearable to look back on).

In the first semester of my doctorate, I made my first poster. At the beginning, I was really wild and imaginative, thinking how cool, how special, even how colorful, always thinking that the most important thing is to be eye-catching. The first draft was given to the boss, the evaluation was: "hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, come on, let's make a good change".

Figure 1. Two versions of the first draft

With the boss's patient guidance, I did my best to correct it. Figure 2 is my final version. This poster my boss also did his best to give me guidance, because I really do not know anything, no experience. My boss was very happy with the poster and thought it should win an award, but in the end it didn't, and the feedback I received made no sense at all (I'm always proud of myself for thinking my work is the best).

Figure 2._Can I get a poster on the right that contains unpublished content, so I'll code it first

The second poster was completed for the American Chemistry Society in August of this year (the one on the right in the picture above), and it got the first prize. When I finished the first draft of this poster and gave it to my boss, my boss was very satisfied with it and made very few changes, so we decided on the final version, and the recording was done in one go (because it was a Virtualmeeting, so the poster presentation was recorded and uploaded). The feedback we got from the judges was also very positive (again, I like to be praised by others). Zhang Xiaojing: I know this).

So, based on the experience of these two posters, I think the following points are quite important.

1._Blanket salver spring 1 ㄒ蟆R话憷此,会议官网会发布关于参赛海报最简单最基本最重要的要求,包括字体和字号,还有海报大小等等. At the same time, the judging criteria will also be presented. When I was changing the first poster, my boss suggested that I print out all the poster requirements from the official website and let me change them for myself.

2. Don't try to cram all the results of your experiments and your entire research into a single poster, just tell a nice, concise story. If people are interested in your research, they will naturally ask you other questions, and then you can naturally expand on your research. This is actually the hardest part, so I would recommend spending a little more time thinking about it. I think this part of my second poster was done well, so the rest of the presentation or revision went very smoothly, because the theme of the story was set, and some revisions around the theme would not be blind and efficient. The first poster I think my story is quite loose, not very well formed (although I don't want to admit it).

3._Lemon turns tatami song gully benzene young spirits and food weevils in the North Yan Yan animal P end, highlighting the key points! First of all, to attract attention to it.

4._Etched gadolinium huan C carry Spanish mackerel _ S Ω enumeration of the international timid to write a stone, choose to represent the color of their own school is good. My boss said, the school's representative color or color scheme are expensive to screen out, do not use for nothing.

5._Park_ullets instead of the whole Sentence. use the key information in the sentence to form phrases that are concise and to the point, but not too long and complicated. I suggest not copying and pasting from a paper or an article, which is too heavy and wordy.

6.___1 ɡ Fault Location x Fault Location x Fault Location, and the theme color can echo the best. This is a detail, I personally obsessed with this.

7.___Kong Bai rush about 2 minutes of the poster brief. Practice is important, some readers may not want to read the whole poster, this time your explanation is very important.

The above six points are what I can think of now and more important points. I think the second point is really the most important, telling a complete story is really important. To be honest, the overall framework of the poster is mostly similar, and the various parts (from Introduction to Acknowledgement) are almost fixed. The key to success is how to deliver the message effectively and completely, so that the reader doesn't get lost halfway through the message, so it's good that the poster is concise and to the point!

Zhang Xiaojing: School is starting! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
