I love the poster competition. There’s always a range of graphic-design and presentation skills evident, but its the current of passion, well, electrifies the room. I will probably check out all of the 100+ posters during the conference, but the thirteen below are the ones which caught my eye:

PS: Why Kaylee? Because I’m using her quote at the bottom, and she represents the living, breathing inventiveness that is the joy of STEM and which I hope will come through in the papers above.
Inspirational Quote:
[Simon tries to explain himself to Kaylee.]
Simon: I mean, my way of being… polite, or however it’s… Well, it’s the only way I have of… showing you… that I like you… of showing respect.
Kaylee: So, when… we made love last night—
Simon: When we what?!
[Kaylee grins.]
Kaylee: You really are such an easy mark.
