Sports Nutrition Poster
This document discusses the importance of carbohydrates for athletic performance and the negative effects of a low-carb diet. It notes that carbohydrates are an important fuel source stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver. Not eating enough carbohydrates can impair recovery by limiting glycogen storage, cause performance to decline more quickly as glycogen stores are depleted, and can lead muscles to be broken down for fuel instead of being preserved. The document recommends athletes eat sources of carbohydrates like fruits, grains and starchy vegetables, and time their carbohydrate intake before, during and after exercise for optimal performance.

This document investigates the photocatalytic degradation of p-chlorophenol using TiO2 nanoparticles. It finds that P-25 TiO2 and sol-gel synthesized anatase TiO2 show similar degradation rates of p-chlorophenol in both slurry and supported reactor systems. However, P-25 TiO2 supports exhibited greater durability over multiple degradation cycles compared to anatase TiO2 supports. The sol-gel anatase TiO2 particles were found to agglomerate more than P-25, which may explain its slightly lower degradation rate in slurry form.
AGU Conference Poster
This study examined how different rain basin designs influence soil microbial activity and nitrogen mineralization in a semi-arid environment. Specifically, it compared basins covered with gravel mulch or a compost and gravel mulch. The addition of compost and gravel increased soil moisture and organic matter content before monsoon season when the soil was dry, likely due to increased water retention. Higher soil moisture led to greater microbial activity and biomass. After rainfall, nitrogen mineralization rates correlated most strongly with microbial activity levels. The basin design that added compost and gravel to the mulch layer had the greatest impact on abiotic and biotic drivers of nitrogen cycling processes in rain basins.

An effective poster is camera of your work
Posters are an effective method of presenting academic work or research in progress and, because some information is better presented visually, a poster may be more memorable than a verbal presentation. A poster presentation may be a required assessment task for undergraduate or postgraduate students. Posters are often included in the scientific program of a conference, and are usually displayed during a conference with times allocated for presenters to be available to discuss their content with attendees. A poster is an excellent way for beginning presenters to introduce their work to their peers. This also allows for valuable networking opportunities.
Before starting your poster Consider your audience: their interests and/or academic level. Allow enough time to plan and produce it. A good poster takes time. Know the presentation requirements including: poster dimensions; method of display; any mandatory content inclusions or presentation details; or if handouts are required as part of the presentation. Know the evaluation criteria for both the abstract (if required) and the poster. Critically review other posters for design, clarity, layout and overall quality. Consider different methods of production. These can range from cut and paste to a professionally developed and computer-generated poster.

Tips for making effective power point presentations
The document provides tips for making effective PowerPoint presentations with concise guidelines. It recommends using a consistent simple design template with limited text on each slide. Fonts should be large and easy to read from the back of the room. Graphical images should reinforce the message without being distracting. Effective use of color, layout, and design principles can enhance readability and visual impact without relying on flashy transitions or overuse of special effects that may detract from the core message. Proper preparation, practice, and having backups for any technical difficulties are also advised.

Poster Presentation
· You are required to present your research in the form of a poster to interested parties
The Poster should be:
· Visually striking
· Handmade or printed
· Approx. 1,000 words of text, tables, graphs and pictures or illustrations
· Balance of images and text
· You should include the following:
· Title of project
· Research aims/ questions
· Methodology
· Findings
· Discussion/Conclusion (Limitations/Implications)
· References (Mentioned in poster)
· FONT AND SIZE:
· The font size you should use is dependent on the size of the poster. As a rough guideline:
· A0/A1 posters use a body text size of 24+, headings should be 48+.
· A3 posters might use size 14+ for body text and 34+ for headings.
TIPS ON POSTER:
· Analyse Task – academic posters are often based upon larger bodies of work, but the task of creating a poster itself needs to be carefully considered. Questions to be asked might include:
· What is the main message you are trying to convey?
· What is the purpose of the poster?
· Who is your target audience – specialists or a more general audience?
· Research – if your poster is based on another piece of work this will already have been done to some extent, but if not you may need to locate relevant sources, read background information and make notes.
· Plan content – the purpose of your poster will influence the content and the structure of the content. A typical research poster may include some of the following sections:
· Title
· Introduction
· Methods/Methodology
· Results
· Discussion
· Conclusion
· References
TEMPLATE
Library & Information Services have produced an A3 (more sizes coming soon) poster template that can be customised to suit your needs. It can be a good starting point for creating an academic poster, but it is only a suggested layout; you are encouraged to customise it to suit your needs.
The template can be downloaded from the Resources page of the IT Training website: study.cardiffmet.ac.uk/Help/Training/
LAYOUT:
· Use headings to group text – this makes your poster easier to read and digest.
· Format your headings in a consistent way – this creates a sense of unity and helps structure your content visually.
· Structure your content in a logical way –content neatly aligned into columns creates a visual narrative for your reader; they will tend to read down then across:
· Use white space and margins – plenty of white space makes your poster easier to read and improves the signal-to-noise ratio (the signal is your message, noise is anything that prevents your message from getting through, such as an abundance of text or unnecessary graphical elements).
Margins give your text space to breath and can act as delimiters for the different sections of your poster.
· Sketch your poster before you begin to design it – a pencil and paper sketch of the poster’s layout may help you when creating the final design.

Using facebook & twitter to connect with students
Using Facebook and Twitter to connect with students provides guidance for university support services on how to use social media platforms. Facebook allows users to create personal profiles, add friends, share posts and media, and join groups.

Plymouth University provides social media guidelines and advice for using platforms like Facebook pages and Twitter hashtags to engage with students.
Digital Identity & Social Networking for Researchers
How social media platforms can enhance your work as a researcher, and some of the potential issues around using these tools. Adapted from 'The Researcher Online: Building an Online Identity" by Dr Helen Webster, University of Cambridge
’Facing the Consequences’ Storyboard
Tracy's experience using social media negatively impacted her personal and professional life. Her ex-boyfriend, tutor, and potential employer saw unflattering photos and posts online. Nursing students and professionals must use social media carefully, as inappropriate use may affect their fitness to practice. The Nursing and Midwifery Council provides guidance stating online conduct in one's personal life must still meet professional standards. Students in breach of these standards could face disciplinary action through their university's fitness to practice procedure. The document advises reviewing privacy settings and using common sense when posting online to avoid unintended consequences.
Facing the consequences
The document summarizes the process of making a film, including drawing together ideas, creating a storyboard, finding cast members, filming, editing, distributing the film, and receiving feedback. It discusses each step in the process, from planning shots and using two HD cameras for filming, to editing footage in iMovie and applying filters for a cartoon-like look. The film is available on various platforms and embedded in an online module for students. In the end, the document reflects on lessons learned and possibilities for future improvement and publication.
