Doctors Without Borders goes #betterposter! Our #ScienceUX community created an evidence-based poster template to improve science communication at the DWB/MSF Pediatric conference this year.
Video explains design decisions & the science communication principles at play:

Got to work with 120 Early Career Researchers on poster + presentation design at NSF EPSCoR.
Nearly exploded Google Docs with 120 simultaneous people playing presentation slide & poster design games.
After 5 years, still my favorite group!
We have a hideously-ugly 3D printed prototype! 🎉

Big update on our quest to create an #OpenHardware people counter to measure & improve how scientists forage for information in poster sessions.
Prettier, better device to follow. All designs/code on GitHub.

Presenting my AGU24 poster this Tuesday afternoon - GC23A-0229: Choosing Earth Foundation Models: From research grade to community maintained. Come have a chat about how we can make Foundation Models for Earth Observation / Geospatial data more practical for different use-cases!
Poster made using @excalidraw, code available at https://gist.github.com/weiji14/7f3ade1ad231587380f131c402b9649d.

@basepair Inkscape (or CorelDraw/Illustrator if they happen to be on the same computer as I do).
I was about to press InDesign/Scribus option for that, but I think it makes a difference for some people, so it went as "other".
Once I did an online html version "clickable" by qr, with some panel graphics turned to animation (I wanted to try quarto/RStudio). Some people liked it, but I'm afraid in general it was opposite to the #betterposter ^^"
As of 2024, how do you preferably create a conference poster?
I’ve used PowerPoint before, not gonna lie. Open to suggestions, even if it means learning new stuff.
Bonus question: did anyone try the „#betterposter“ design and could share real life experience? How did people interact?

And by the way, my poster is designed as a #betterposter
I wrote a small guideline on how to create it using #rstats for last years EGU. Check it out: https://loreabad6.github.io/posts/2023-04-26-betterposter-at-egu-2023/
The #betterposter movement hits a new stride! 🚀After #betterposter-style academic posters rated more accessible, #CochraneLondon rolls out a new poster template and we measured engagement.

If you loved (or hated!) #betterposter, I’ll be releasing a new cartoon tomorrow with new designs for peer review tools to speed up the process without sacrificing rigor.
Get your inner design nerd ready!
Also, we’re actually building these tools @curvenote. They’re not just concepts.
