Audio TranscriptAuto-generated

  1. Good morning, Good afternoon or good evening.
  2. My name is N Fox and I've written a book.
  3. It's called Better Posters, and I'm here to tell you
  4. a little bit about who I wrote this book for.
  5. Primarily, this book is for people who have maybe never
  6. been to a scientific or academic conference before, or maybe
  7. only been once or twice.
  8. In other words, that is to say, If you are
  9. an early career researcher, I think that this book can
  10. really benefit you.
  11. So if you are, say, an undergraduate student about to
  12. go to your first conference, if you are an honors
  13. undergraduate student working on a research thesis that you want
  14. to present.
  15. Or maybe if you are even a graduate student like
  16. a master student or a doctoral student, I still think
  17. that this book can be useful to you.
  18. And maybe even if you are a post doctoral fellow,
  19. there may still be a few tips and tricks that
  20. you hadn't considered before.
  21. Now, if you are further along in your career and
  22. you have done your fair share of poster sessions, I
  23. think that you may want to copy maybe not so
  24. much for yourself, but to just have around in your
  25. lab for new students and trainees who come into your
  26. lab. And in fact, I think that this book might
  27. make a great gift for anyone who is coming into
  28. your lab as a new member.
  29. If you are even further along and you have reached
  30. the point where you are helping to organize conferences, there's
  31. also a section in this book about how to create
  32. a poster session that is going to deliver the most
  33. value for conference attendees.
  34. So I really hope that this is a book that
  35. somebody can use almost regardless of their career stage.
  36. And if you buy it early in your career, I'm
  37. hoping that there's going to be stuff that might not
  38. be relevant to you now, but that will continue to
  39. be relevant and you can refer to as you go
  40. along in your career.
  41. That's who I wrote the better posters book for, and
  42. I hope that if you get a copy that you
  43. enjoy it, thank you very much for watching.
  44. Yeah,
