Getting It Published Workshop: Effective Academic Posters

Workshop Overview:

[Online] Poster sessions are an incredible opportunity to share our work with a broader audience, get feedback, and network with our peers, as well as potential employers, funders and collaborators. Our careers often depend on performing well in these exciting and often chaotic venues, but few of us are trained in graphic design and visual storytelling!

In this talk, I will present some principles for creating an effective academic poster and introduce you to a group critique process that should help you tell your story more clearly and stand out from the crowd. This event is open to non-Duke participants.

You don't need any software installed for this workshop – it is a talk with an interactive portion at the end. 

Eric Monson, is a data visualization specialist with the Duke University Libraries’ Center for Data and Visualization Sciences. Although his PhD is in Applied Physics, from 2007 until he joined CDVS in 2015 he collaborated with Duke faculty and graduate students from Math to Computational Biology to Art History, helping them transform, visualize and understand their data.

The content of the workshop may be recorded. If you are uncomfortable with a recording being published, please contact the instructor at any time prior to the conclusion of the workshop.
