Webinar: How to Execute an Effective Conference Poster
Condensing your complex research into a condensed, easy to follow visual summary is a challenging, but crucial, part of academia that is often overlooked in academic training.
How do you maintain the integrity of your work in a way that is still easy to digest? How do you decide which information is vital and which is unnecessary clutter? How do you make your poster stand out in an over-saturated poster session? How do you explain your entire research in under five minutes to ensure active engagement?
Join our upcoming webinar for a comprehensive guide to creating an academic research poster that communicates your findings with clarity and precision.
In this webinar, we will:
- Discuss the classic layout of a scientific conference poster, share design ideas and best practices for a logical and intuitive flow of information.
- Share practical, actionable tips to help your poster stand out in a busy conference environment.
- Share design tips and guidelines on creating a poster in PowerPoint.
- Dive into condensing your poster into an engaging two minute walkthrough of your work.
- Present real-world examples of research posters, highlighting what works well and common pitfalls to avoid.
By the end of the webinar, you will have a clear and confident roadmap for producing a polished, professional research poster that does justice to your work.
Speaker: Dr. Lindsay Santacroce
Dr. Santacroce completed a postdoctoral research fellowship with Dr. Julia Spaniol in the Memory & Decision Processes (MAD) Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University. She received her PhD from the Developmental, Cognitive, and Behavioral Neuroscience program at the University of Houston in 2023 having worked with Dr. Benjamin Tamber-Rosenau in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Attention Lab.
Her research interests include aspects of human attention, attentional capture, the interactions between goal-driven and stimulus-driven attention, and developing cognitive science research that mimics real-world scenarios.
Throughout her 10+ years in human research, she has acquired many valuable skills including end-to-end research, communicating research findings to diverse audiences (written and verbal), designing and programming experiments, and mixed method data analysis.
