Guidelines for talks and posters
Talks are scheduled in 15-minute slots, which means that you should plan on speaking for at least 10 but no more than 12 minutes, leaving time for questions. The moderator will hold you to this time. Colloquium sessions run as integrated slide shows; you will need to load your talk into the appropriate folder on the computer in the MRRI auditorium on Thursday, September 34, 4-6pm.
Posters should be in horizontal format, and need to fit on poster boards (see colloquium poster currently displayed in the MRRI lobby as an example; this poster was formatted at 54 inches wide by 40 inches high). The precise dimensions of your poster will depend on the printer you use. There are several poster-printing options available at Fort Johnson; the option available to you will depend on your advisor and the agency at which you work. Please ask your advisor and fellow students who have previously made posters for assistance. Posters need to be hung on Friday, September 25, between noon-3pm.
New versions of the Grice and College of Charleston logos are available at: http://grice.cofc.edu/resources/logos.html
Feedback will be provided to all presenters (talks and posters) on both content and presentation. Please remember that you are presenting to a general marine science audience, who may or may not be familiar with the questions, objectives, methods, etc. specific to your work.
