Why Make a Poster
Papers are not the only way to communicate your research to other scholars. Posters are another common way. Posters are used to present a quick overview of a research project and communicate the major points and findings. You might present a poster at a conference, a research symposium or see posters handing outside faculty offices and research lab.
