Poster Presentations: Sharing your research story

A poster is a great way to share a short, coherent research story which viewers can take in within a few minutes. Poster sessions are the key way that new ideas are shared in many disciplines and are often great ways to get feedback on your work. Below are suggestions, templates, and advice for designing your poster.

Poster and oral presentations are typically delivered to academic colleagues at conferences or congresses. Here are some best practices and resources to help develop the content and visuals for a high-impact poster, and plan and practice memorable oral presentations. 

The "Related Resources" on this page can be used to tap into Duke’s hub of templates, guides, and services to support researchers developing their presentations.

The Duke Medical Center Library has tips for things to keep in mind before working through the development of a poster presentation, and the Duke University Libraries' Center for Data and Visualization Sciences recorded a talk on preparing effective academic posters .

• Just like with any other publication, the specifications from the conference should be read and understood – there are often size limits or font requirements to keep in mind.
• A good title is critical for posters since presenters get just a few seconds to attract conference goers who are passing by. Make sure the title briefly and memorably portrays the most interesting or central finding of the work.
• Energy should be focused on a solid abstract, as the poster is simply a blown-up visualization of that summary.
• Less is more in poster design. Rather than shrinking fonts to fit the commentary, the commentary should be shrunk to fit the space on the poster, while retaining a readable font and plenty of white space.  

The Thompson Writing Program has great general guidance on oral presentations, summarized throughout this page. There are several training opportunities listed in this page's "Related Resources" that can help researchers at all stages to hone their presentation skills.

• Preparing for an oral presentation will take the majority of a researcher's time. The goal of the talk should be fully understood as typically no more than 3-5 key points will be covered in a presentation; the audience and the time allotted should be carefully considered.
• Consideration of “guideposts” for the audience should be given. It is especially important in oral deliveries that information is organized in to meaningful blocks for the audience. Transitions should be emphasized during the presentation.
• Rather than creating a word-for-word speech, researchers should create a plan for each section, idea or point. By reading written points, delivery can be kept fresh.
• To engage audiences, it is a good idea to make strongest points first, and in a memorable way. While background and introduction sections are common in academic presentations, they are often already known to the audience.

The Duke Medical Center Library has tutorials, best practices for general design, and strategies for a high-impact poster presentations. Bass Connections also provides guidance on poster design.

Some important things to keep in mind are:

• Keeping posters simple and focusing on two things: Strong visualizations and small blocks of supporting text. Remember the audience; they will be standing a few feet away. Make sure the content is visible from afar. 
• Follow brand guidelines from Duke or Duke School of Medicine . When representing Duke at a conference, it is best practice to align the presentation with institutional standards, including appropriate logos and color schemes.
• Avoid violating copyright protections. Include only images created specifically for this purpose, or use stock photography provided by Duke or other vendors.
• Visualizing data tells the story. The Center for Data and Visualization Sciences has workshops, consultations and other resources to ensure that graphical representations of data are effective.
• Poster presentations can be designed using a variety of software (PowerPoint, Illustrator, Keynote, Inkscape), and templates. When choosing software or templates, consideration should be given to accessibility and understanding by everyone involved in creating the presentation.   
• Contact information, citations and acknowledgements: On posters, key articles may be noted or images needing references included. For oral and poster presentations, key contributors should be recognized. Funding sources should also be mentioned on posters and in oral presentations.
• A link or QR code should be included for supplemental materials, citations, movies, etc.
• Before a poster is printed, someone with fresh eyes should review it! Reprinting posters is costly and can take time. There are many options for printing, some on paper and some on fabric, with production times varying. The Medical Center Library has some local options to suggest. 
• Practicing in a space that is similar to the actual presentation is a good idea, and doing so within the allotted time. Finishing early to allow good Q&A is also a good idea.
• Family, trusted friends, or colleagues can be great test audiences, and can provide valuable feedback.
• Preparation and practice should be started early and repeated often.
• If it is an important address, researchers may want to videotape a rehearsal run to review and improve performance.
• If a presentation is being digitized, release or permission forms may be needed. Duke has resources available via Scholarworks.
• Once a poster session or oral presentation has been completed, researchers should be sure to add it to their CV or biosketch.

Early Start Poster Symposium and 3-Minute Thesis Competition

3MT Competition Winners:

Poster Award Winners:

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®)

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a competition for doctoral students to develop and showcase their research communication skills.

Could you present your 80,000-word thesis or dissertation in three minutes? Do you want the excitement of competing with other graduate students for a first, second, or 3rd place prize?   3MT is an annual competition sponsored by the Duke BioCoRE Program. All enrolled doctoral students at the research stage (with at least some results to share) are eligible.

Questions can be submitted here .

This competition has been registered with the University of Queensland and has permission to use the brand and all resources as long as the same rules, judging criteria, and branding guidelines prescribed by  The University of Queensland  are followed.

Enthusiasm for the 3MT concept grew and its adoption by numerous universities led to the development of an international competition in 2010. Today students from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Hong Kong take part in their own regional and national events.

BioCoRE, in collaboration with the Duke Pratt School of Engineering will host its inaugural 3MT competition on August 5th, 2024 at 3:30pm in Fitzpatrick (CIEMAS) Schiciano Auditorium  – (recordings can be made available).  3MT challenges research degree students to present a compelling story on their dissertation or thesis and its significance in just three minutes, in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. This year's 3MT cohort has been selected (more information to come). 

First, second, and third place winners from finalists will be judged by a panel and honored at the Equity Advancement Symposium Reception on the same day. 

3MT Resources

Fuel for Thought

How to Print Your Conference Poster

When deciding how to print a conference poster, two main considerations are usually time and cost. While availability of poster printing options vary by institution and location, here I’ll share two favored options from my time at Duke.

Fabric Posters

Once you go fabric you won’t want to go back to paper. If you’re traveling to your conference on a plane, a poster tube counts as a carry-on item, likely requiring you to check one of your actual bags. A fabric poster takes up much less space and can fit in your bag, making traveling with it and carrying it to the conference much easier.

There are several options for fabric posters, but I recommend Spoonflower for cheap – yet quality – printing. I printed my first poster with Spoonflower last month and was happy with the outcome, while only spending $18 plus shipping. Shipping options ranged from $3 (around 8 days) to $25 (around 2 days).

To order a fabric poster, you’ll need to create a Spoonflower account and convert your poster to an image file. You can do this by saving your poster (sized at the actual poster size) as a pdf file, then exporting as a JPEG at 150 ppi. If you have a vertical poster, rotate the image 90º so it’ll fit on the fabric. Upload this image in Spoonflower by clicking the “Design” menu at the top then “Upload.”

The image may not look correct until you select an appropriate type of fabric. I chose Performance Piqué because that’s what Spoonflower recommended for posters, but other researchers have recommended Performance Knit . Don’t worry if the preview of your poster looks blurry—it won’t look like that when printed. Check that the dimensions and resolution are correct in the preview mode. You can choose to “center” or “repeat” your design in the given space. I chose “center” which meant the poster printed with extra while fabric on the ends. I pinned these behind the poster when hanging it, but next time I’d trim them off.

The printed poster was vibrant and didn’t wrinkle. Many researchers at the conference even commented on the quality of the fabric printing. I needed to use more push pins than usual to secure the top of the poster to prevent slight drooping, but this wasn’t too burdensome. Bring some extra pins with you if you’re not sure how many you’ll need.

After the conference you might even find interesting ways to reuse and showcase your fabric posters. Research poster quilt, anyone?

Paper posters

If you still want to print a paper poster despite my newfound favoritism towards fabric, the best option at Duke is PhD Posters . A semigloss paper poster is about $50 . You can pick the poster up directly on Duke’s main campus, or pay to get it shipped. They also have a few other free pick-up locations in New York, Massachusetts, California and elsewhere. The submission process is straightforward, just submit your information online and upload a pdf file of your poster at its desired size. The turnaround time is very quick, usually just 1 or 2 days, and someone will email you with updates throughout the submission and printing process.

For other research poster resources at Duke, check out the Duke Visualization Services workshops on designing effective research posters. You can watch a recording of the last workshop or check for when the next one is offered. You can also email Eric Monson , Data Visualization Analyst, for a one-on-one consultation on your poster.

Babatope A. Ogunjesa (University of Illinois) Babatope, also commonly called “Kunle,” is a Doctoral researcher studying Community Health at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, Illinois, USA. Passionate about empowering vulnerable groups, his research examines how socioeconomics, behaviors, and culture impact health. He focuses mainly on older adults and their unpaid caregivers. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Statistics and a master’s degree in Biostatistics. For his Ph.D. dissertation, Babatope is investigating the obstacles preventing family caregivers from utilizing respite care services. By identifying these barriers, he hopes to develop interventions that promote equitable resource access to support unpaid caregivers. Babatope has previously been honored with the Center on Health, Aging, and Disability (CHAD) travel award for his research work and has volunteered at the Cornerstone Family Health Center in Lisle, Chicago. He is a member of several prestigious organizations, including the American Public Health Association, the Gerontological Society of America, and the Canadian Geriatrics Society. After graduation, Babatope intends to pursue a postdoctoral degree and build a career in academia. When he’s not immersed in academia, Babatope enjoys keeping up with current affairs and watching documentaries on travel, culture, and societies.

Francis A.M. Manno (East Carolina University) Dr. Francis A.M. Manno, DPhil, PhD, is a clinician-scientist in MRI Physics specializing in neuroimaging hearing loss across the lifetime in vulnerable patient groups. He is currently an assistant professor at East Carolina University in the Department of Physics. Dr. Manno leads or is Co-PI on several grants (DOD, NIH) that investigate three interrelated fields using MRI as the foundational technology for modeling human disease (hearing loss, environmental enrichment and Alzheimer’s Disease). Dr. Manno uses machine learning to develop structural-functional maps in rodent models to assess the lifelong impact of hearing loss or environmental change. In humans, he analyzes MRI to assess imaging defined phenotypes to identify factors influencing hearing loss severity and potential covariates such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.

Meishuo Ouyang (Duke University School of Medicine) Meishuo Ouyang is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. Her research interests include geographic disparities in the United States and their impact on disease, socioeconomic status, health behaviours, and potential opportunities for improvement. Her current research is focused on analyzing morbidity, multimorbidity, and mortality patterns in the leading (with the highest life expectancy) and lagging (with the lowest life expectancy) U.S. states using 5%-Medicare data; identify the differences between the leading and lagging states in individual-level clinic-related characteristics.

Zhuoyu Shi (University of North Carolina) Zhuoyu Shi is a senior undergraduate student at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has a double major with double honors in Computer Science and Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience. Most of her previous research focuses on computational neuroimaging with translational applications in understanding brain functions and detecting early biomarkers of neurological diseases.

Salil Koner (Duke University) I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at the Duke University School of Medicine, after graduating from North Carolina University with a doctorate in Statistics. At Duke, I am privileged to be mentored by Professor Sheng Luo. My current research interest primarily aligns with developing novel inference and biomarker detection techniques for health disparities in elderly subjects, based on longitudinally collected cognitive function data stemming from randomized clinical trials, as well as observational studies, motivated by applications on Alzheimer’s and Movement Disorders diseases, and how to correlate them with more densely collected digital signatures.

Alisa Adhikari (Duke University School of Medicine) Dr. Francis A.M. Manno, DPhil, PhD, is a clinician-scientist in MRI Physics specializing in neuroimaging hearing loss across the lifetime in vulnerable patient groups. He is currently an assistant professor at East Carolina University in the Department of Physics. Dr. Manno leads or is Co-PI on several grants (DOD, NIH) that investigate three interrelated fields using MRI as the foundational technology for modeling human disease (hearing loss, environmental enrichment and Alzheimer’s Disease). Dr. Manno uses machine learning to develop structural-functional maps in rodent models to assess the lifelong impact of hearing loss or environmental change. In humans, he analyzes MRI to assess imaging defined phenotypes to identify factors influencing hearing loss severity and potential covariates such as Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias.

Rashmita Basu (East Carolina University) I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Health, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. By training, I am a health economist. My research aims to improve the health and well-being of older adults, especially those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). My research interests include the delivery and financing of post acute care and long-term care services and support (LTSS) for the aging population, including those with ADRD. I am specifically interested in healthcare costs, financing (Medicare payment policies), and the use of informal and formal care services by people living with dementia and other disabilities. I am a REC Scholar at the Duke-UNC Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center (ADRC). My REC Scholar project collects self-reported person-centered outcomes data that matter most to people living with ADRD and their caregivers. I believe this research will advance dementia care research by addressing the challenges of recruiting people with ADRD in healthcare and public health research and promoting person-centered care to people living with the disease.

Now, he splits his time as a viola player between the Duke Symphony Orchestra and Duke Sangeet , an Indian classical music student club. Watwe also makes time to play viola and piano as part of Duke Health’s performing arts volunteer program and has created a YouTube channel showcasing his talents. 

With an immediate goal to matriculate to medical school and pursue a surgical specialty, his future plans include combining both music and healthcare to improve the outcomes of patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

We sat down with the busy first-year student to lean why he keeps Music in his studies at Duke, the benefits of his STEAM education and how Duke nurtures his interdisciplinary studies.

You’re focused on a career in healthcare, so why is it important to include Music in your course studies at Duke?

Music nurtures creativity and helps develop innovative thinking. This creativity can be a huge asset in STEM fields, encouraging me to think outside the box when approaching complex problems. Integrating music with STEM fosters a well-rounded mindset and offers a different perspective that allows me to make connections across diverse subjects, thus promoting a holistic understanding of the world.

A major in Biology and a minor in Music might seem incongruous to some. Do you find them to be mutually beneficial?

I do. Practicing music requires discipline and focus, qualities also crucial in scientific endeavors. The diligence cultivated in mastering a musical piece translates well into the rigor needed for in-depth scientific study and research.

And Biology courses emphasize organization and structured thinking. Applying this mindset to my music practice has helped me approach compositions with a more organized and systematic method, improving my practice routines and overall progress.

As a STEAM student, do you think Duke provides an environment where a student can study both — and at the same level of scholarship?

Yes. I’ve found that Duke provides a great environment, combining both the arts and STEM, and actively promotes collaborations between both of my fields of study. Initiatives like joint performances, interdisciplinary research projects through Bass Connections and cross-departmental seminars encourage students to explore the intersections between seemingly disparate fields.

I think the diversity of the student body at Duke also helps because it brings together individuals with varied interests and strengths. This fosters a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives, encouraging students to appreciate and explore disciplines beyond their primary focus.
