Poster

Participants must create a 46 cm x 53 cm high-resolution image with all the poster information in English, using as background the image provided by the organizing committee. The poster should be in png format. The file should be named with the last name of the first author and the EasyChair submission number: “Velez_Rueda_Poster5.png”. To clearly explain your work to a broad technical audience, we recommend the following content for the poster: Title, Author list, Affiliation, and the Abstract: Background, Objectives, Methods or Techniques, Results, Conclusions. Here you can take a look at an example of a poster created with the background provided: Poster Example.

Video

It is mandatory that authors also send the pre-record of their poster talk (3-5 minutes), which will be uploaded on our Youtube Channel and will be presented on our website along with the poster. The video should preferably be in English, but participants can speak in their mother tongue and add English subtitles. Save your presentation as an MP4 file. The file should be named with the last name of the first author and the EasyChair submission number: “Velez_Rueda_Poster5.mp4”.

Twitter

Participants can also post their posters on Twitter at the beginning of the conference using a single tweet with the poster image and a brief explanation. In order to increase the visibility and associate it with the conference, please use the hashtags #VirtualPostersSession and #3WBDS_LA. Please use the handle @WBDSLA as well so that we will receive a notification.

Other suggestions for hashtags are #Bioinformatics #DataScience #WomenInSTEM or the topics of the conference as: #GenesGenomics #RNATranscriptomics #PhylogenyEvolution #ProteinsProteomics #BiomolecularSimulations #StructuralBioinformatics #Chemoinformatics #DrugDiscovery #MachineLearning #DataMining #BigData #SystemsBiology #Bioinformatics&Diseases #Database #SoftwareDevelopment #Education.

If the poster is associated with a preprint/publication, we advise you to post a second tweet with its url. In case you are in a country that does not allow Twitter posting, please send it to the official email account before the 10th of September and we will post it for you.

We will hold a Virtual Poster Session that will take place on this website and also on Twitter. It will start one week before the conference and will continue until the end of the conference. All official posters will be retweeted by @WBDSLA.
