Poster prizes will be awarded! A good scientific poster conveys a clear message and goals, follows specific design principles, and facilitates discussion.
Please see our guidelines below as well as Yale Poster Templates and #betterposter. Printed posters are typically 36” x 24” horizontal or vertical.
E-poster pdfs may also include a Page 2 for additional questions and details so that other MSI members can give you helpful feedback at the retreat. E-posters will only be used via CAS login during retreat activities.
