Abstract
The abstract is a concise summary of the presented research.

the following sections: 1) What is the problem (relevance
of the research), 2) What was done to solve the problem, 3)
What was the outcome. Abstracts should never include a cited
reference.
Introduction
Kept this section short to save room for results and discussion.
Methods
Kept this section short to save room for results and discussion.
Results
The results are the most important section of the poster.
Clearly designed graphs and tables are critical. Captions
should be self explanatory and informative.
Discussion
The discussion explains why the results are significant and
interesting. Include figure/table references when discussing
findings. Arrows can be used to refer readers to the appropriate
figure.
Acknowledgements
The acknowledgments section is one short paragraph thanking
others for assistance and listing funding sources.
Additional Hints
Dress appropriately. Stay alert during the poster session,
and prompt visitors to enter into a discussion about your
research. Design your poster to have eye-catching areas that
draw the reader to important information. Fonts should never
be smaller than 14 point.
