Tips

The NS Research site has a webpage with advice for presenting at a conference, from designing posters to citing sources to what to wear. If you're presenting a research paper with slides, we also recommend that you review Dr. Jessica Calarco's webpage on developing effective conference talks and slides.

For those presenting posters, we have a NS-themed poster template you are free to use, though you are not required to use it. There are many free poster templates available online as well.
