@TizzyEnt Amen! Not to mention that there are many points in the Yost paradigm in which the options are not 'binary', i.e., there are more than two sexes and genders for many reasons.

Dr. Graham was such a kind and wonderful soul, and always made time to chat with me when we passed in the halls at @SUNY. More importantly, he was a fierce champion for our students and supported any effort that could better their lives and well-being. (1/)

Starting off Saturday with a marvelous book about science denial and the fuel I need to do something about it. Thanks to @GaleSinatra and @bkhofer for writing this important work!

@ASBMB #ASBMBposters A4: Serving as a judge is also a great way to meet the AMAZING students who participate in the UGPC, and perhaps recruit them for your grad program.

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

@ASBMB #ASBMBposters A4: Judges are expected to be mentors and role models. They should use their scientific and teaching/mentoring/pedagogical expertise to assess the student and provide constructive feedback. The UGPC is a learning and growth opportunity for the students.

@ASBMB #ASBMBposters A3: A well-designed poster that is presented clearly by a student who fully understands the material and can answer questions well. So that they know what the judges are looking for, presenters should study the judging rubric.

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

@ASBMB @ASBMB #ASBMBposters A2: Three suggestions: 1-Practice. 2-Practice. 3-Practice. Be clear and concise in your 'walk through'. Have solid answers for the questions you can anticipate. Don't be afraid to say 'I don't know' and give credit to the other people who have contributed.

@ASBMB A1: Remember, since the even-numbered and odd-numbered posters each use only half of the scheduled time, you'll be presenting only half the time. Use your non-presentation time to work the room! #ASBMBposters

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

@ASBMB A1: For those people who are participating, use the time you're not scheduled to be presenting to work the room. Visit the other posters and grad school tables. Meet as many people as possible! Bring business cards.

@ASBMB the Undergraduate Poster Competition is my FAVORITE part of the annual meeting! #ASBMBposters

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

A4: "DON'T" overload your poster. If it's too dense no one will read it. A cluttered poster, no matter how valuable the information, is not likely to draw people in. #ASBMBposters

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

A4: "DO" It's key that you take the opportunity to present your work very seriously. Prepare for it as much as you would an oral. You should be able to speak at depth about everything on your poster.

A3: Be careful to avoid jargon or overly dense text. #ASBMBposters

[(((Phillip Ortiz))) @STEMPipeline]

A3: I suggest that you use your poster to start the conversation. Perhaps use a graphic to represent the main ideas. Your poster should serve as a guide and prompt your presentation. The information you include to be like the lead/topic sentences of a paragraph. #ASBMBposters

There are TONS of great resources available. here are a few examples:

A1: I suggest bold headings and limited text. Use your poster to start the conversation. More than a few sentences of text is too much. #ASBMBposters
