A poster based on the research we performed for our first article has been accepted for presentation at the American Geological Union (AGU) that was supposed to be in San Francisco in December, but that now will be online. That if a pretty cool deal and we think we have a pretty cool poster (in progress). My adviser, Troy, sent me a note before he went away camping for a long weekend to the effect that poster preparation is not done in the normal way–creation of the poster in LaTeX or PowerPoint, then printing it out in a large format. Because it is an online venue they want everyone to create their posters with online software they provide. I am assuming this is do to their incompetence because it will be a big hassle for everyone and almost certainly decrease the quality of the presentations.
