４．To Poster Presenters

The length of poster presentation videos should be 3 minutes in free format. A flash talk is recommended. It is also possible to paste your poster images on the slides.

The number of slides you can use is unlimited. So you may also shorten the time a slide is displayed to a few seconds and run through many slides without a narration if you find it difficult to narrate in 3 minutes. Viewers can use the pause button to take a close look at your slides.

 

 

５．Coloring of Presentation Materials

Approximately 5% (approximately 3 million) of Japanese and 8% of white males have difficulty in distinguishing colors in a certain range where green and red colors mix. Please take the following points into consideration when you create your presentation materials.

1. Use green and magenta, instead of green and red, for double-staining or DNA chip images.
2. For micrographs with triple or more channels, additionally show images using green and magenta for most important two channels, or, display images of each channel separately.
3. For graphs and explanatory figures, do not use a separate legend to describe the color-coded elements but directly type in the description of the elements on the figures themselves, since it is extremely difficult to match same colors in distant places. Also, use not only colors but different line types, shapes, shading and hatching to differentiate each element.
4. When the background is dark, do not use red or thin blue characters but use white, yellow, or orange ones as much as possible.
