Science Communication: Poster Sessions

• Presentations

Poster Sessions

• Conferences

A poster presentation is a visual communication method that displays an abstract of your research.

This guide will help you organize, design, and deliver your content. 

Books and Ebooks

Poster sessions are a great way to market yourself, so get people to your poster by contributing to the conference social media hashtag. 

Have available business cards and display your contact information for potential future employers or collaborators. 

Prepare handouts of the main presentation points, and have copies of your other research.

Poster Session Tips

Focus the information presented to the main points, provide only a few supporting details. Your poster is a supporting aid to your speech. Only use 300-800 words. 

Consider the poster layout.

• Font type and size for information hierarchy
• Color and white space
• Add visual elements such as graph, figures, and diagrams
• Include citations for information and images

Make your poster interactive by adding sound buttons, 3D images, transparencies, moveable parts for questions and answers, hinged pieces, etc. 

*Pay attention to the paper and printing quality

Keep in mind that poster sessions are a short presentation. See the guide section on delivering a presentation for more tips.

• Prepare a 2-3 minute oral explanation of your work
• Do not block the view of your poster - stand to the side
• Anticipate questions
• Be outgoing, to market yourself and your research

“I am very happy to participate in this Conference that dealt with a lot of very interesting and current topics, such as accountability, governance, immigration, national minorities and political parties. I had the opportunity to give a talk on the crisis of representative democracy and what political parties need to do in order to save our lovely democratic system. Excellent conference dealing with very current and important topics, both for Kazakhstan and for the rest of the region. Extremely well organized” – Professor Fernando Casal Bertoa said.

The 7th International Conference brought to the fore cutting edge research conducted in Kazakhstan and around the world. The panels were devoted to several topics from government performance to international cooperation, from local governance to identity issues, from pressing policy issues such as migration, integration and polarization to the challenges to good governance. The common theme of the conference was that good governance matters, and that while policymakers may be confronted with challenges, there are concrete steps they could take to improve the policy making process and ensure the quality of governance.

The conference offered a diverse range of topics within the field of governance and public policy. It aimed to facilitate knowledge-sharing, discussion, and networking among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in these areas.

Dr. James Perry, Distinguished Professor Emeritus from Indiana University, Bloomington, who spoke on the topic “What Does the Evidence Tell Us About Merit Principles and Government Performance?” shared his opinion about the conference: “I was impressed with the quality and variety of topics addressed at the conference. The papers presented are deserving of serious attention from practitioners and scholars alike. Presenters shared new knowledge about important policy issues. The Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Public Policy deserves credit for a well-organized and executed conference”.

The conference also provided a platform for Ph.D. students from various disciplines to share their work and engage in meaningful discussions. Ph.D. students who presented at the conference not only impressed the audience with their research but also inspired their fellow colleagues to strive for excellence in their own work.

“The conference gave an opportunity to meet highly respected experts, gain new knowledge, exchange experience, and formulate new research questions. The conference has become an effective platform for networking, finding points for joint cooperation in the future. As a Ph.D. student, the conference provided me with additional motivation for further research,” said Yekaterina Berkutova, Ph.D. student at the Political Science Department, L.N.

MTSU Star Party lecturer holds free presentation tonight, first Fridays

Middle Tennessee State University Physics and Astronomy lecturer Gregg McPherson will be featured in the next Star Party presentation that’s free and open to the public.

McPherson will present “Shoot the Moon (with a laser)” starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 5, in Room 102 of Wiser-Patten Science Hall.

The format is a 30- to 45-minute lecture followed by a telescope viewing, weather permitting, at the nearby MTSU Observatory. Free  parking  can be found behind Wiser-Patten and other nearby lots.

McPherson said next year will mark the 20 th  anniversary of the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-Ranging Operation, or APOLLO, experiment.

“Some of the most iconic imagery in movies and sci-fi is of laser beams shooting into the sky,” he said. “I got to intern at Apache Point Observatory in high school and the first night I saw in real life a giant green laser shooting up into the sky to span the distance between the earth and moon I knew I wanted to pursue a career in science.”

Despite centuries of humanity using telescopes to collect and observe light from the moon, this curious experiment uses telescopes to focus and transmit pulsed laser light to the moon, then records the round-trip time of flight of pulses reflected back to Earth by retroreflectors left on the moon's surface from five crewed lunar landings, McPherson said.

“Though other Lunar Laser-Ranging experiments preceded it, the APOLLO experiment can measure the 239,000-mile average distance to the moon with a precision of less than the thickness of a paperclip,” he added. “Scientists use this information to better test and understand ideas in general relativity, the shape of lunar orbit and even the rate at which the Earth's rotation is changing.” 

Typically held on the first Friday of the month during the semester, the  Physics and Astronomy  Friday Star Parties  feature an assortment of interesting astronomy and physics topics from faculty members.

The remaining Friday Star Party for the spring semester:

• May 3 — Topic to be announced, presented by instructor Irina Perevalova.

For more information about  Physics and Astronomy , one of 11  College of Basic and Applied Sciences  departments, call 615-898-2130.

Ph.D in Architecture Symposium: Paper Presentations

• Calendar / Outlook

“ Environment  dates from [the early nineteenth century], in the sense of surroundings, as in  environs  (fw  environner , F – encircle, rw  viron , oF – circuit); it was extended, as in Carlyle (1827): ‘environment of circumstances.’”

As part of his 1976 encyclopedic work  Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society , Raymond Williams obliquely introduced the term “Environment” under the entry for the history of “ecology.” In his view the use of the term, dating to the nineteenth century, only commenced with the rise of “concern with the human and natural habitat” of environmentalism. Williams’ historiographical reading of the term obscures the way in which constructions of the environment and a cultural notion of depletion were co-constituted. As with the history of the economy as an object of power, measurement, and policy in the 1930s, the history of “the environment” can only be understood through the tools used to make it legible.

Rather than seeking an underlying definition of “the environment” within design practices, this symposium employs “environmentalization” to trace the conditions of possibility that enabled the concept to be taken as a given by the second half of the twentieth century—chiefly towards the ecological cause. By critically addressing the historiographical construction, instrumentalization, and weaponization of “the environment” in the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century,  Forms of Environmentalization  aims to question how the ontological proliferation of the term has subjectivized spatial milieus as a tool to be both tamed and constructed.
