M ORE P OSTER S TUFF Word Limit—OOPS! words PER SECTION Bottom line: don’t scare people with a ton of text to read. Title should be in sentence case. NOT ALL CAPS and Not In Title Text Please talk with your mentor about the poster Get their affiliations correct! Allow yourself to be creative. The 4 column look that I showed last week is not required.

P OSTER S ECTIONS Introduction Methods Results Discussion

I NTRODUCTION Why is this study (your work) of scientific interest and what is your objective? Some background information. Keep it short End with objectives

M ETHODS Official definition: “details that would allow a scientist to replicate your work” Probably not going to happen on a poster General overview of equipment used, flow chart of steps taken, etc. How did you go about answering the question you had?

R ESULTS What did I find out? Might have to pick and choose what gets included or excluded for the poster

D ISCUSSION /C ONCLUSION What does it mean? Interpret Data What is new understanding of problem (as described in introduction)? Next Steps

M ORE P OSTER S TUFF Acknowledgement section on poster “This work was performed under the auspices of the UCAR High School Internship Program.
