Final Poster Designs 3/4/19

Rationale: 

Finish poster designs in large groups.

Procedure: 

Small groups that created a rough draft of the final poster met to form a larger group. Ideas from both groups were used to form the final poster. The poster was compared, the layout was chosen, and the poster was saved as a powerpoint.

Results: 

The final poster was completed.

Conclusions: 

The poster was finished and submitted. Both groups helped yield the final poster. The groups provided graphs and were consolidated into one poster.

Future plan: 

Fix any error in the poster, choose a poster that will best represent the class at URSA, and to present this final poster to the class so this final poster can be in consideration for the poster that will represent the class.

Scientific Poster Rough Draft (2/25/19)

Rationale: Groups were made for the individual research group and rough drafts of the scientific posters were made.

 

Tools:

  • Examples from previous years
  • Paper and Pencil

 

Results:

  • Groups were assigned then a template was made for the scientific poster.
  • The main focus of the template was for it to be symmetrical along with a good color scheme.
  • The results of each lab were divided into the “wet lab” and the “in silico lab.”
  • The abstract was left out as it took up too much space.

 

 

Conclusion:

Because it was decided that the best template provided symmetry and color scheme, the template was based on that idea.

 

Future:

With the template, a rough draft of the poster will be made with the usage of a computational device.
