Present a poster
Who should present a poster
All postbacs are welcome to present. You should discuss your plan to participate with your PI before registering. You can share background information on your project, present data you may have collected, discuss any technical problems you might have encountered, and show results. You, like many of your postbac peers, may have just started and unable to share a full story. We still encourage you to present - posters of all lengths of a story, or something else are welcome. Feel free to present a literature review or a completely new proposal. Whatever your plan, be sure to discuss your idea with your supervisor or PI before registering.
