“Designing an impactful poster is often harder than a talk. Know your audience, give context at the beginning, and invite interaction. Scientific quality is a must, but it doesn’t have to be rocket science. Half-size posters work too.” — Johan Pauw, #eLTER2025SC poster award jury #eLTERcommunity 💗

"eLTER and the rest of us are faced with describing a world which is much more diverse than we thought, most species are unknown, handling this unknown part of the nature is even more important than handling the known minority." Tomas Roslin, #LIFEPLAN #eLTERcommunity🔗 youtu.be/iMMyJYYxLHM?...

The poster presenters at the first eLTER Science Conference were full of enthusiasm and intriguing insights to share. Liliana Scapucci and Yue Wu showed an example of successful science-art collaboration. 🔗 Read their abstract here: aca.pensoft.net/article/1567... #eLTERcommunity #eLTER2025SC
