The Open Poster Repository for Biology and Medicine

The Faculty of 1000 has created a (relatively) new open access repository of posters from across the life sciences and medicine:  the Open Poster Repository for Biology & Medicine.  In this free resource, you can both view and deposit research posters--an opportunity to discuss research with a much, much wider audience.

The website for this repository suggests several benefits of sharing research posters:

• Often, scientific research presented in posters is essentially lost after the conference is over; a repository like this ensures that wide access to the posters continues
• Scientific posters often discuss new findings before any publication is developed or becomes available
• The discussion generated by posted posters may help researchers further develop and improve their work
• Sharing this type of work may help reduce research duplications

Again, you can both contribute to and benefit from this repository--check it out!
