I have only been to conferences in South America and Europe -- and once in China. I will ask some American astronomers how it is like in the US.Natalia Vale Asarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094209380565424708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481277762471114452.post-40946610098745949262011-10-20T10:34:42.956-05:002011-10-20T10:34:42.956-05:00Natalia: I’ve heard that the vertical poster forma...Natalia: I’ve heard that the vertical poster format is more common in European meetings than in North American ones.

I use Papers2 mostly as a repository for any and all papers I find and download. Although I have not used it for any manuscript writing, I know that it's powerful for citation management and such. I tried to look up on how to actually make anything in Papers and had very little success (even after consulting the Mekentosj website). So if anyone has an idea I would love to know.

I realize the dinosaur was too bold a move. :)<br /><br />Sorry for a Freudian slip of mine -- I meant to say I used Apple Pages, not Papers, to do it. (I am in the processing of moving away from Papers to organize articles, so that is probably why it managed to crawl into my explanatory e-mail.)<br /><br />I also realised I made a typo: "started explained", which should be "started explaining". Sorry for that too!<br /><br />I am not sure if portrait orientation is standard in all Astronomy meetings, but that was the case in all the ones I attended. Poster stands usually hold an A0 portrait poster, but only an A1 landscape poster. It is probably done to save space and fit more posters per square meter.<br /><br />Cheers and sorry again for the incorrect info on the software I used!Natalia Vale Asarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094209380565424708noreply@blogger.com
