WISP Research Poster Workshop on February 14

Please RSVP to wisp@indiana.edu by February 11, if you plan to attend the workshop.

Present a poster about your research at the 13th annual Women in Science Research Conference, network with other women researchers and compete for research awards. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best undergraduate and graduate poster presentations in each of the following categories: Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Mathematics & Technology. First place winners will receive $100, second place winners will receive $75. This is a fantastic opportunity for community building and professional development in a familiar setting, which will enhance your graduate school or employment opportunities. If this is your first time assembling a research poster, the Office for Women’s Affairs (OWA) will hold an optional ‘how to make a poster & give a poster presentation’ workshop.


Upcoming WISP Workshop:
How to Make a Research Poster

Monday, February 14, 2011, 3:00 – 4:00 PM Memorial Hall East (on 3rd St) 1st Floor Lounge (by room 125)

** This is a hands-on workshop. Participants will develop an initial poster design!**

Come learn how to make a poster to showcase your research. We will discuss effective poster-design techniques and show a number of example research posters from different disciplines—including winning posters from previous WISP Research Conferences. We will also discuss effective oral presentation strategies. If possible, please bring your abstract, data, charts, photos, graphs and anything else you might want your poster to emphasize or highlight. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to experienced poster presenters and get personalized feedback on poster designs. While we hope that many Women in Science Research Conference presenters will attend this workshop, all students are welcome to attend, regardless of whether or not you are presenting at the conference.

Please RSVP to wisp@indiana.edu by February 11, if you plan to attend the workshop.

Sponsored by the Women in Science Program of the Office for Women’s Affairs (OWA).
