Guidelines for Thumbnail Sketches
Do
 | Remember: This is an advertisement (a "teaser") not a report
or defense of your work |
 | Use one page only; one minute to present |
 | Lead with title, researcher(s) and advisor(s) |
 | Give motivation (why are you doing this; e.g., nanoparticles may
offer important advantages in cancer therapy) |
 | Do give a very brief synopsis of results (we have
demonstrated that we can deliver therapeutic agents to selected sites in
cells) |
 | Do leave them wanting more info (if you to find out how we do it,
visit my poster) |
 | Use as little text as possible and that should be in bullets, not
paragraphs |
 | Use eye-catching graphics (photos) if possible |
 | Use a clear simple graph if you like, but only if it can be
explained in one sentence. |
Do Not
 | Do not use more than one page or one minute. More is definitely
not better. |
 | Do not use lots of text. |
 | Do not give lots of data or tables. |
 | Do not give an equipment or process flowchart |
 | Do not try to give a condensed version of your poster. |
 | Do not try to be thorough. You want to leave unanswered
questions that you can answer at your poster. |
