A research poster is used to present research findings at academic or professional conferences. It typically includes the title, authors, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. When designing a poster, the most important factors are selecting the key findings to highlight, using visual elements like images and graphs, and conveying the information in a clear and organized manner so it can be understood from a distance. An effective research poster tells a short story, arouses reader interest, and limits the text to maximize visual elements and organization.

poster:

talk that will complement my poster?
