Abstract:
|
Methods of presentations at JSM have evolved dramatically over many years as presenters strive to speak out and reach out to colleagues. In addition to the growing and effective use of video projection at invited and contributed sessions, poster sessions are becoming more popular. This medium itself is in a rapid evolutionary process as presenters seek better methods of communicating with a transient audience. The 2007 JSM presentation by Di Cook, "Improving Statistical Posters," catapulted the improvement process forward by offering guidelines and illustrations for how use a poster session effectively; view this at www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2008/pdfs/ImprovingStatisticalPosters.pdf. The current presentation focuses on methods of improving interaction between authors and audience by reviewing and evaluating some of the posters that were displayed at JSM 2007.
