This is a conference of your peers, and may also be attended by interested parties such as former and prospective PH 575 students, and faculty. You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5” by 11” sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304. Text and diagrams should explain your calculations, |
