The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304. But do pay attention to presentation and organization - don't just put up a slew of 8.5” by 11” sheets taped together. |

| Why a poster as well as a paper? It's so that you can share your work with the other students and learn something from them, too. Science is about communicating ideas and results, so you need to practice that. So come up with something interesting to tell your peers. | Why a poster as well as a paper?
