That some good can be derived from every event is a better proposition than that everything happens for the best, which it assuredly does not.

Following the Retraction Watch blog, I came across a posting about Colin Purrington’s site which offers advice on designing conference posters. Apparently it was plagiarized verbatim by another organization who now threatens to sue him (on the plus side, I think he has more traffic now).

Besides tips on Designing conference posters, his site also contains other advice which looks very interesting:

I’ll have to have a closer look at the site, but so far it looks very interesting. In any case, the conference poster tips are much more detailed and result in more “classical” conference poster than my take on conference posters.

Highly Recommended.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
