Types of Presentations

Poster presentations

Posters should be in landscape orientation and have a maximum of 5 feet wide by 3 feet tall. Posters presentations may also include work in progress research. Posters sessions are scheduled for one hour.

Lightning presentations

Lighting presentations are restricted to 5 minutes and provide a means of briefly highlighting a study's background, rationale, procedures, findings, and conclusions. The most effective presentations are polished and engaging and use slides with little text that make effective use of images and figures (one title slide, three study slides maximum). These presentations provide a great way for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to practice brevity and to convey science in an engaging way to an audience of non-specialists. Presentations are judged by the audience, with prizes given to the top three presentations.
