Poster Perfect

Poster Perfect

Conference venues can have less than ideal setups for viewing a poster. Whether it’s a hot, congested room filled with people or one that is spacious but contains many hundreds of competing posters, your poster has to pop in any setting. Read up on making your poster stand out.

Geological Gallery

The Geological Society of America

Geologic processes have sculpted this planet for more than 4.5 billion years. Geologists are witnesses to planetary change and history, and many of them record their observations with compelling images. The 2010 Geological Society of America Photo Exhibition was juried by a panel consisting of a nationally known nature photographer, a geologist, and an artist. Viewing the American Photo Exhibition Gallery will make you aspire to be a geologist!
