Part 6 - Poster Presentations
Offers practical advice on the preparation and delivery of scientific presentations and demonstrates visually striking presentation techniques. Provides examples of high-quality figures, page layouts, slides, posters, and web pages. Also has "before and after" examples to illustrate the contrast between poor and outstanding presentations.

A useful resource for creating figures for presentations to ensure each and every visual display of your data is accurate and effective. Offers guidance on creating figures that effectively present research findings. Has tips and tricks for designing figures as well as numerous examples of figures that accompany reports of studies. Chapters cover figures commonly used in psychology and other behavioural science journals, such as bar graphs, line graphs, plots, charts, and photographs. Explanatory bubbles accompanying each figure highlight important points for and about presentation.

Contains inspiring stories from practicing engineers around the world as well as useful examples, exercises and repeatable processes for creating compelling messages. Helps technical talent become better speakers, better communicators, and ultimately better leaders. Demystifies the art of oral communication by breaking it down into ten easy-to-follow-processes that can improve the ability of professionals at any level. Understand how to gain buy-in, identify and expand your Sphere of Influence, amplify your message, deliver compelling presentations.

Every scientist knows that images and illustrations can make or break their lecture, poster presentation, and journal or book article. Whether your audience sees clear, understandable images or not depends on whether you followed the principles presented in this book. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of different forms of visual presentations. Understand when to use a figure, and how much information can be represented in one. See examples of bad, good, and better graphs and tables. The author also presents information on presenting DNA sequences, protein structures, and other molecular graphics.

The text covers the important aspects of scientific presentations, including knowing your audience, producing visual material, controlling nerves and handling questions using a practical 'how-to' style.

How does the conference system work? How do I prepare an abstract/outline/synopsis? How do I choose my material and prepare it for a conference presentation? How can I prepare effective conference aids? How can I overcome my nerves? How can I prepare and present effective posters for poster presentations?

When scientists give a talk, the audience expects the title of the talk to determine presentation content, they require understandable slides, and they demand visible and audible scientific authority. To each expectation corresponds a set of skills: personal (voice, host qualities, time control), technical (presentation tools and slide design), and scientific (Q & A, slide content). The author takes an original human factor view of the presentation delivery.
