Coherent Structures in Physics and Biology
Edinburgh 1995 -- Information for Talks and Posters
Talks
You have 25 minutes plus 5 minutes for questions. The overall
limit of 30 minutes will be strictly adhered to, we have a very tight
schedule to keep. The following is a bit obvious, but there are still
people who forget it (including me at times!):
Please do not try to cram a 1hr talk into
this time. Concentrate on getting your main message across,
you can go over the details with interested parties after the
talk. You may assume that there will be extensive blackboard
space available and an overhead projector. Please ask in advance if
you need other facilities such as video or slide projection. The
lecture theatre seats 140 persons, so those at the back of the room
will be a long way from the screen. Please do not attempt to photocopy
a normal A4 page onto an overhead slide, this will result in you
loosing at least half your audience. As a rough guide, the characters
on your o/h slides should be at least 7mm high, with 4mm as an absolute
minimum (Nature, v.370, 11 Aug 1994).
Posters
The poster area will be in the same area as teas and coffee. If space
allows, all the posters will be on show for all the meeting, and
no special time will be set aside for poster sessions. You will
need to seek out authors to talk to them, so it would be useful
if everyone could remember to keep their name badges on. The space available
will be 122 cm across x 75 cm down (assuming we can put the boards up
in portrait mode, otherwise it will be 150 cm across x 61 cm down).
