Poster presentations are one method of presenting articles, projects, or research at a professional conference. The purpose of this article is to delineate the development of a poster for presentation. Essential points on topic selection, writing the abstract, development strategies, transport, and handout preparation are included.
Opportunities to expand the professional nursing role and present at conferences have increased. The purpose of this article is to share suggestions for developing and presenting papers. Essential ideas on who will present and how to write an abstract, deal with rejection or success, develop an outline, construct a lecture, select audiovisual materials, and use public speaking skills are described. The publishing and copyright processes are also discussed. Using these practical strategies will enable individuals to develop and/or enhance presentations.
In order to isolate gravitropism mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. var Estland for the genetic dissection of the gravitropism pathway, a direct screening procedure has been developed in which mutants are selected on the basis of their gravitropic response. Variability in hypocotyl curvature was dependent on the germination time of each seed stock, resulting in the incorrect identification of several lines as gravitropism mutants when a standard protocol for the potentiation of germination was used. When the protocol was adjusted to allow for differences in germination time, these lines were eliminated from the collection. Out of the 60,000 M2 seedlings screened, 0.3 to 0.4% exhibited altered gravitropism. In approximately 40% of these mutant lines, only gravitropism by the root or the hypocotyl was altered, while the response of the other organ was unaffected. These data support the hypothesis that root and hypocotyl gravitropism are genetically separable.
A poster presentation gives a summary of information in a visual format. Poster topics can focus on research, teaching, or projects. Careful layout and meticulous proofreading and editing of the information are important to a poster's success. The practical strategies mentioned in this article can help nurses develop and enhance their poster presentation skills.
The purpose of this article is to provide suggestions for developing and presenting papers at an educational conference or other professional meeting. The authors offer suggestions on how to write an abstract, deal with rejection or success, develop an outline, construct a lecture, select audiovisual materials, and use public-speaking skills. The practical strategies described in this article are intended to enable rehabilitation nurses and other readers to develop and/or enhance their paper presentations.
