Poster Presentation

POSTPONED
Date: Sep 5, 2018
Time: 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Nora Carlson
Nora is a Marie Curie Individual Research Fellow in Prof Iain Couzin's Collective Behavior Group at the Max Plank Institute for Ornithology and the University of Konstanz. Her project will investigate how birds use visual and vocal information to coordinate group movement and maintain group cohesion. She will also test how these methods of maintenance and coordination are affected by different visual and acoustic environments, to determine the effects of anthropogenic noise on flocking behaviour in birds.

Poster sessions are an important part of scientific conferences. They can be an effective way to communicate your research to large audiences and foster in-depth discussions about your research one-on-one with potential collaborators. This opportunity, however, often hinges on whether or not your poster entices people to come and have a look. This workshop will aim to give you the tools to make your posters attractive, encouraging more people to visit. [more]

Communicating your research at venues such as conferences is an important part of every scientist’s career, and a communicating it effectively can open doors to amazing opportunities and collaborations. However, these opportunities, to some extent, hinge on whether your talk or poster engages with people, communicates your message clearly, and is memorable. This 3-day joint workshop aims to give you the tools to make your posters attractive, encouraging more people to visit, and provide some rules of thumb to make your presentations more engaging and clearly understood.
