A science fair always promotes visuals. Therefore, in order to communicate my research effectively, I need to have a clear, yet informative poster to represent my research. However, as all the data cannot possibly fit onto one poster, careful editing is required. Thus, I have decided to make the break-up as follows:

1) A brief introduction to what the project is and the tools involved. This will probably be modified from one of the abstracts that I have already written for the science competitions. I will probably include a picture of the AFM and definitely have a diagram of the DNA molecule involved. 2) The rationale for and explanation of what my research involved, including the procedure and results. Regarding prior works, I think it is much easier to incorporate prior work of other researchers as I am speaking to people, rather than have it all on the poster. I will try to stress the visuals of my poster, although I will certainly note the key prior works that had a major impact on my research. 3) As to the discussion and conclusions, I will list the bullet points, highlighting the findings by comparing graphs and images of DNA. This will allow me to be more interactive with my poster and really point out the differences and similarities. 4) Acknowledgements.

Most of the images I will use are in the papers I have written. Actually, much of the information from the papers will be very useful for the poster, because it already has structure and is more polished.
