A scientific poster is often the first type of presentation a budding scientist will give. The video below walks through the steps required to make a poster in PowerPoint.

Font sizes can vary according to poster size. My recommendations are:

Title: 60-90 pt

Authors: a couple sizes smaller than the title

Affiliations: one size smaller than the authors

Headings: 40-60 pt

Subheadings: 36-48 pt

Main text: 24 pt

Legend text: 20 pt
