Abstract

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Leonardo da Vinci

Gwen and Jill arrive 30 minutes before the first poster session at a national conference. Gwen is carrying the cardboard tube that contains their 4-by-6-foot laminated poster. Jill is in charge of the portable DVD that accompanies the poster presentation. The first thing they notice is that everyone else has free-standing posters, and there are no electrical outlets to be found. What Gwen and Jill did not notice in the instructions that accompanied the acceptance letter was that posters were to be free-standing: if presenters brought their own extension cords, they could use one of the few electrical outlets. Gwen and Jill are left to improvise. Before you find out what they did, write about what you would do (see Jot Box 48-1).
