i'm cycling between "i have to get this research poster done by today's printing deadline!", "maybe i could get this printed on-site myself?" and "will anybody notice if i just don't do this poster?". :\

Option 4: A big sheet of newsprint with just your bsky handle written in marker so interested parties can DM you.

(I, maybe we, saw something like this at LPSC in 92 or 93.)

I’d have to have it handwritten in that particular script style that Russians use when writing in Latin characters. I’ll consider it, yeah.

Do you have to get the approved printing company to give you a quote so you can fill a form applying to print so you can submit a print job so you can...etc. though!? Because that makes the second two options seem even more attractive..

The conference I'm attending next week offers a service, but the deadline is today. Since the conference is on another continent, the idea of printing it here and schlepping it over isn't an attractive one. So it's either print it there or punt (or print it here as a stack of 8.5 x 11" sheets).

#EPSC-DPS? I'll see you there :) I'm so happy I managed to get a talk, and a poster printed through coauthors help this time! (A4 not 8.5 X 11" please! 😛)

Well, if I end up not printing it on A0, does it really matter? ;) See you there!

Metric always matters 😛 See you!

Print on silk. Folds well for traveling, easy to hang, and makes an interesting scarf afterwards. 🤩 Seriously though, print on silk is awesome. The colors are a little muted, but good enough.

My last dps poster was just printouts on regular printer paper because I ran out of time so 🤷♀️

I did that once for a conference in Europe (because I couldn't take a poster tube). There was actually someone who walked by it and *scoffed*.

I love that every conference still has at least one of these oldskool posters.

Yeah, @woodney.bsky.social was talking about doing that, too. I was telling her to do it in typewriter font and a slightly lighter than black text color to really lean in. Maybe put a green and white striped background in to evoke the dot-matrix era?

And glue the pages to construction paper for a colorful border?

That was the best part!

Nothing wrong with a return to a collage-style poster. Or if you want to put a modern spin on it: artisanal multi-media presentation. 😁

Crud... I missed that the deadline was today. No chance I'll be ready.

It looks like there's a gray zone rather than a deadline per se--they suggest emailing them after the deadline to see if they can still do it and then paying after getting a confirmation. My poster's in, but it's not terribly good. On the other hand, I've only ever done one good poster, methinks.

Yeah, I'm gonna aim for getting it in in the next day or two. I think that since I don't have a Monday poster I'll be ok.

By some miracle, I was actually approved by NASA to travel to Noerdlingen, Germany this week to talk about the Bennu organic results at the Impacts and the Origin of Life conference. First approved travel for me this year. Please just be thankful you are able to travel to science conferences.

That's really amazing in Nördlingen, a big impact site of the remote past

Well, now we'll all notice....
