Most conferences and ASM’s use the same, old, wall-of-text poster design. We know, we’ve been doing it too!
This year, the APS wants to try to improve the efficiency of the transfer of knowledge at their ASM, by encouraging authors to use the #betterposter format.
Traditional, wall-of-text posters make delegates search for the main finding. The aim of the #betterposter template is to make sharing the main findings of each poster easier.
For an interesting video that explains what a #betterposter is, please watch this video: How to create a better research poster in less time If you choose to use this format, please note:
