I'll be speaking at an upcoming webinar with Bitesize Bio on expanding the reach of conference posters.
If you're interested in designing more effective posters, feel free to join us!
It's on November 23, 2026, 12:00 pm noon Eastern time!
A collection of notable posters (and a few presenters) and every known book devoted to academic conference posters.
Academic conference posters are often ugly, with tiny text, confusing layouts, and dubious colour schemes. This blog and book is about making posters informative and beautiful.
This blog usually updates on Thursdays.
Not the viral video. That’s #BetterPoster (singular) on social media.
