Additional Information

Poster details:

Posters should be limited in width < 1 m so that 2 will fit on each side of a 4x6 ft poster board.
(Any height is OK but aim for < 1.5 m since reading something that is touching the floor is less fun)

*Please send your poster title to physinfo@sfu.ca

Posters will be ranked based on the following criteria:

1. Attractive, interesting TITLE (Why should the reader stay to look at the rest of the poster?)
2. How well do we understand what YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR WORK.
3. How well you explain how the topic fits into the LARGER WORLD (Why is the work potentially important? What was the problem to be solved or question to be answered?)

Other tips:

•    Choose the TITLE carefully - something that gets to the heart of the work
•    The audience has only a short time to absorb your poster (120 minutes/20 posters = 6 minutes on average/poster)
•    Fill up the space on the board, but at a comfortable density and size when viewed from 1 m away
•    Images and figures GOOD;  words or equations BAD;
•    Summarize the important points in a CONCLUSION
•    Don't forget the references and acknowledgements (who funded or helped you with the work)
