Poster Presentations

• This is
• A Presentation about Presentations
• A Power Point about a Power Points
• A Talk about Talks
• A boring speech about how not to be boring

2
Poster Session for all SULI, NUF, ACTS, PST,
NPT, STP, FaST, CCI, HSI, and SOS

• Deadlines
• Monday, March 14 asking me to print your poster
  
• Wednesday, March 16 print your own poster
• Invite your mentors!

What is a poster?

• A picture book science paper
• for people who prefer to stand!
• Say it in pictures
• Flow charts to explain experiment design and
  methods
• Photos for setups, apparatus, design, results
• Graphs to show relationships, results, models
• Graphics for computer models
• Explain in big letters and simple words
• Use color and pictures to attract attention and
  to bring people closer

4
What NOT to do

• Work hard to create a Van Gogh then hold up the
  printer until it runs out of ink

• Wait until the last minute and thumb tack a print
  out of the final paper

5
What to do?

• Plan your research report
• What have you done? really!
• How?
• What has been done previously? (Introduction)
• Write an outline Connect Ideas!
• Prepare all figures
• Expand the outline add explanations
• Transfer all your work to the poster

6
Setup in Power Point for making a one-page
(one-slide) poster
Under the Design pull down menu choose page
setup and then custom for size The plotter at
WH can print up to 3 wide and any reasonable
length, so 48 x48 is quite possible
7
Slide Layout

• The next few slides show examples of layout. Feel
  free to use and/or modify any of these examples

How to present?

• You have 30 seconds to get the judges attention!
• DONT give a history lesson!
• DO tell most important findings first
• SUMMARY FIRST
• Move in diagonally through your poster
• Repeat and explain
• After 1 2 minutes
• If the listener is still there you are doing
  well
• Have a great time!

Graphical Abstract

• AbstractArgon plasma sintering of inkjet
  printed silver tracks on polymer substratesIngo

  R. Baumann and Ulrich S. Schubert
• An alternative and selective sintering
  method for the fabrication of conductive silver
  tracks on common polymer substrates is presented,
  by exposure to low-pressure argon plasma. Inkjet
  printing has been used to pattern a silver
  nanoparticle ink. This resulted in conductive
  features with a resistivity less than one order
  of magnitude higher than the bulk value of silver
  without affecting the polymer substrate. This
  process may be employed in the production of
  conductive features with low material usage on
  common polymer substrates in, for example,
  printed electronics.
