Groups presented their posters and the best poster was chosen for scholar’s week.

Procedure:

  1. Each group presented their poster to the class.

  3. Voted on a poster to use.
  4. Made a list of things to modify the poster selected.

Results:

The following poster was selected.

Conclusion:

All group posters lack interesting findings that made them stand out. It was decided that the Phamerator should stay on the poster, and the sunburst should not be used. The class was challenged to create a figure displaying the gene number, function, and related phages.

Finishing Final Posters 3/4/19

Rationale

Today we will finish creating the final posters in our groups before presenting them to the class.

Procedure

  • Combined groups with Sabin, Aman, and Michael
  • Shared our (Lily, Lucy, and I) poster with group 2
  • Combined elements of the poster to create one cohesive presentation

Results

The final poster result is shown below.

Conclusion/Next Steps

It was somewhat difficult to create the poster and combine the elements of the two styles. The overall words and content that were used were previously created during the last lab, however small issues such as spacing and font sizes were reoccurring. Next, we will assess all the posters created as a class and determine which one will be used to continue our work.
