Posters and other tools
BioTrek has developed a number of large-format full-color posters on bioscience topics. You can use these posters to illustrate how science approaches research problems.
The posters are available here as poster-sized and handout-sized ".jpg" (bitmapped image files) and ".ai" (Adobe Illustrator vector graphics files). Some of the poster-sized .jpg and .ai files are encapsulated as ".zip" archives.
You can download these files and print the posters at any digital service center with a large-format printer located at universities, colleges or private printing firms. Printing these posters will cost you $50 to $100 or more. To decide whether you want to print, download the handout-sized version for review.
The zipped files will take long time to download on a dial-up connection. Consider asking a colleague with a fast connection to download them for you.
