A reader’s average attention span = 8 seconds!
- Font size: - at least 36 for titles - 28 for main bullets - 24 for sub-bullets
- Use the same font throughout to avoid distraction
- Sans serif fonts (e.g. Arial) are easier to read than fonts with serifs (e.g. Times New Roman)
- Have plenty of blank space in the poster
- Limit the number of slides, e.g. 2-3 minutes per slide
- Acknowledgements but no abstract and few references
- Expand your article abstract rather than contract the article itself
