Develop a poster presentation of your final research project. You will submit your final research project as a poster (as is done for scientific conferences). You should submit your poster in pdf format. There are a number of websites with advise on how to put together posters, like this one from NYU. There are a variety of software within which you can make your poster. Choose one that is comfortable for you and allows you to create the best final product. There are a number of templates available on the web, so don’t feel like you have to reinvent the wheel. There are also a number of examples to look through and get a feel for what these things look like.
The poster structure should be very similar to your previous research project outline, namely:
-
Title (feel free to make modifications from your previous assignment based on feedback and additional research)
-
Your Name
-
Introduction (including a central hypothesis to be tested/thesis statement)
-
Methods (including description of the data you used and/or informatics approach(es) you used as part of your research)
-
Results (a description of the results of your research)
-
Discussion (how will your results relate back to your hypothesis/thesis)
-
Literature Cited (including references where appropriate, especially for methods and introductory ideas, but in a poster, the references are minimal)
I prefer posters with less text and more beautiful graphics! Results come in graphics! Bulleted text for introduction, methods, results, is just fine.
