Thanks for the helpful video! I'm currently working on a university research poster for a competition and my mentor suggested Canva but I wasn't sure how to go about using it. Finding this video helped me so much, it was literally a lifesaver of a video.
I’m only an undergrad but can you make a video on “should you get a PhD in computer science in 2020?” I’m considering doing a PhD but idk if I want to be in academia. I just want to do some research.
What I always tell people is to have the right reason for doing one. I’m doing a PhD because I love learning and want to push my knowledge to the limits
Code that Mike! For programming it shouldn’t make much of a difference. I’ve been enjoying the experience personally. The biggest problem with the pandemic for me is not getting to travel to conferences
The price for the conference was €200. I submitted a short paper and the conference involved a poster presentation for their short papers. It depends on the conference as sometimes they will be as full presentations
@@PhDandProductivitythanks for your answer! perhaps I should have specified😅 The text may be small on many monitors, so how does one neatly "pick out" for the viewer what is currently talled about? Physically they have chanse to go closer and look, but zoomin on monitor while presenting feels a bit clumsy for me (if you get what i mean)
@@lisam9469 ah I understand. I think if you have to present it by sharing screen I would make the font a bit bigger to avoid zooming in. Usually poster presentations shouldn’t involve discussing everything on the poster but a brief run down of the findings and then the viewers can afterwards look to your poster / paper for a little more detail
I find the artistic effects on Canva quite overwhelming for scientific posters, but thanks for showing us how you could make it work! For poster creation, I like using Inkscape (or Adobe illustrator when my last University pays for it) because it also allows you to set the page in any dimension (in cm or inches) and you will see if your image may get pixelated for printing. Inkscape is also lighter weight than ppt when I add shapes and text. I just like the user interface better (it's like MS paint but for graphic design) If I want an irregular shape (a flask, a workflow...etc) for illustration of lab work (biology research), Inkscape is a great fit for that purpose (Scalable Vector Graphic software).
@@PhDandProductivity There is a great TH-cam channel called LogosbyNick (he's a graphic designer, but also an ecellent Inkscape teacher). I had a VERY simplified video some time ago too. It turns out many Universities would pay a graphic artist for these graphical abstracts, but for the project with less funding, Inkscape could a huge difference and make the science project appear more professional! (th-cam.com/video/gCIt9Jzbzu4/w-d-xo.html) Hope you will give it another thought because building a new shape is really satisfying and greatly improve science communication! I meant to ask you before, would you like to be a featured channel on PhD Coffee Time? I have been really enjoying all the videos you've put out, and my page doesn't have any Computer Science PhD yet!
Can i make a request for the next video? Please guide us about how to write a research proposal? How to include methodology in that when we do not know how exactly this should work? Can you address some common mistakes students make in the proposal as well? Hope to hear from you soon :)
Hi Ashitha, I didn’t have to make a proposal for my PhD as my topic was decided as part of my programme. So I can’t talk about that unfortunately as I really don’t have any experience in that

Thanks for teacjing me about posters in Canva. :D
Can you also make a video about how to insert a table in Canvas? I find it is quite difficult... Thanks for your video!
Really nicely done description, thank you!

PhD and Productivity Would you recommend people to do a PhD during the pandemic? Would you say research productivity has slowed from the pandemic?
Code that Mike! For programming it shouldn’t make much of a difference. I’ve been enjoying the experience personally. The biggest problem with the pandemic for me is not getting to travel to conferences
Great video! I'm making my first academic conference poster and this helped me a lot!
Thks !! Can you share with us how to participate with poster... And the price ..thnk you a lot
The price for the conference was €200. I submitted a short paper and the conference involved a poster presentation for their short papers. It depends on the conference as sometimes they will be as full presentations
Hey could you make a video about ‘how to study or study tips’ since you’re doing PhD you probably had great gpa! Keep with the good work!
That’s a good idea. I’m doing two courses this semester so definitely will be studying!
Yes , I also sure canva for posters in conference, and also for creating conference / FDP invitation posters organized by my collg.
Its awesome
Oh interesting. I’ve never thought of that!
how to extract information from 26 pages research article into a landscape poster?
Hi, I want to make a big poster 60cm x 160cm. Can I use free Canva?
If you're using the canva pics, do you need to write Figure 1 under the picture?
Hi would this be suitable for a 1500 word count please ? Many thanks.
Thank you you'e saving my Life
So glad you find it helpful!
Was this tutorial done with the free or pro version of Canva, please?
I have the pro version but a lot will be available in the free version!
@@PhDandProductivity Thank you dear! Much appreciated
@@PhDandProductivity I uploaded my conference poster presentation directly seeing your video. It looked great! Thank you so much!
Thank You So Much...That was really helpful..helped me a lot in online classes ..😖😆
How do you present it in the online conference/class?
The conference was on gather and so it was put up there. Alternatively if it is zoom based you could just present the poster by screen-sharing

Can I paste it into word?
This video was needed for me
thank you!

Oh that's nice ... Are there such programmes available for life science students too?
