Preparing a Poster for APIC (or IDWeek)

With SHEA just around the corner in October, you're busily making your posters, right? (joke) Kendall Powell at NatureJobs.com has a nice post covering what makes a good (and not so good) poster presentation at a scientific meeting.

Tips range from the important mundane "Titles and headings should be in a sans-serif font, such as Helvetica. Other text should be in a serif font such as Times New Roman, with a minimum size of 22 points" to the important and you never see "Enlarge the best piece of data and place it squarely in the middle at eye level."

Worth a read.
