What is a research poster? 
A visual communication tool widely used in academia and at conferences that allows you to present your research concisely and attractively to publicize and generate discussion. Research posters provide a wonderful opportunity for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty to share their research and invite feedback. 

Ask yourself three questions.

1. What is the most important/interesting/astounding finding from my research project? 
2. How can I visually share my research? Should I use charts, graphs, photos, images? 
3. What kind of information can I convey during my talk that will complement my poster?
