This is very top of mind because it is a new presentation of a poster at a new conference.
The conference I am referring to is the North Carolina Nursing Association conference. It is on Thursday and Friday.
I will be unable to attend both days. I have two classes on Friday. With a 15-20 minute presentation to give about a research methodology: quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group.
When arranging for the poster presentation, I made sure that my presentation day was going to be on Thursday.
To that end, I have to make the cookies for Cookie Thursday tomorrow.
Not so coincidentally Cookie Thursday is a Thing is what the poster is about. The beginnings of CTIAT, the changes of CTIAT, the LONGEVITY of CTIAT, the favorite cookies of CTIAT, and more.
I had my first cold in years doing the layout of the poster and I wasn’t feeling my best but it will be fine.
To give a poster presentation at this particular conference, you have to have a free-standing tri-fold poster. You are given a segment of the conference to present to anyone who wants to know the idea behind the poster.
This will be the 2 of 3 presentations in a week. And I am ready for all of them. I’ve done the readings, prepared my speaking points, and gotten the poster printed.
I’ve only ever had one other poster that actually made it to printing. I had three but covid happened and the conference was cancelled just as I was preparing to get them printed. I had the poster layout already done and was able to present that.
I went with a new company. I have been treated very well by this company and will definitely use them next time I have to get a poster printed. I understand that the university also does printing but I want to rely on that only for university things.
I’m going to read research papers the rest of the day/week/month/semester, no wonder research is top of mind for me.
