Poster Design Essentials and Presentation Delivery – Countway @ Kresge Brown Bag Series
Join Countway and HSPH for a new lunchtime brown bag series focused on common topics that come up in research and scholarly communication!
Posters are a great, concise method to present your research as it forces you to focus on the highlights and share the most captivating bits. And just like your poster, your presentation needs to be brief and to-the-point.
In this one-hour session, we will explore guidelines and considerations for creating physical and digital research posters and maintaining an impactful professional presentation. Along with poster essentials we will review some of the important techniques that will help you prepare for, and execute, a public speech for any occasion.
