Conveying information with minimal text in
posters makes for a better experience for you,
the presenter, and your audience, when the poster
is presented in a public setting. It is
excellent to include pictures (with descriptive
legends) that show you doing aspects of your role
in the internship. The section layout shown in
this template is flexible. Move and resize each
as is necessary for you to convey your project.
Use color, graphics and layout and most
importantly your judgment to make the poster
attractive as well as informative. It is not
suggested you move the order of the section
headings though. Additional detailed instructions
about effective research posters are available
