I have created a couple of new resources for this blog. First, and more important, the blog has a new, dedicated email address: BetterPosters@gmail.com . If you would like to submit a poster to the blog, or get in touch for anything else poster related, please mail me at this address. ( DoctorZen@gmail.com still works, too.) Second, the blog now has its own dedicated Twitter feed: @Better_Posters . That’s “Better underscore Posters.” The plan is that this will be an automated feed that will tweet out new blog posts. Blog readers on Twitter no longer have to wade through my other random thoughts about crayfish, scientific publishing, Doctor Who , or what have you. (Those are all still available on @DoctorZen , too.)

Nature magazine has a feature on posters up today. It features my co-instructor in the # SciFund Challenge poster class, Anthony Salvango. Nature wants you to tweet your # PosterWins and # PosterFails ! Following that hashtag could be fun for this blog... I submitted this recent beauty as for #PosterWins and one of my own for #PosterFails. Reference Woolston C. 2016. Conference presentations: Lead the poster parade. Nature 536 : 115-117. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nj7614-115a

This blog began seven years ago today. And it’s still one of my favourite projects. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do writing it. Picture by Lee Bryan on Flickr ; used under a Creative Commons license.
