 Conferences provide an opportunity to learn about new research, get feedback on your own research, practice presentation skills, take a short course, network, and more. Dr. Rose is happy to discuss conferences relevant to your research and career goals in our meetings.
 
-If we have discussed a conference and Dr. Rose is funding your trip, please send Dr. Rose a projected budget for the trip *before* purchasing plane tickets, registrations, or reserving hotels.

+## Slides
+
+We have an experimental Lab slide template for Quarto located in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/StanfordHPDS/hpds-slides-theme). This template uses [reveal.js](https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs.html). The slide template is not required for lab presentations, but it may be a useful starting point.
+
+There are several good resources for creating effective scientific presentations. Here are a couple:
+
+- [Better Presentations](https://cup.columbia.edu/book/better-presentations/9780231175210/) by Jonathan Schwabish
+- [The Motivated Speaker](https://www.articulationinc.com/the-motivated-speaker-book/) by Ruth Milligan, Acacia Duncan, and Blythe Coons
+
+One issue to consider when presenting results from a paper is whether to use the same figures and tables as in the paper or create new ones. Often, the details in a paper figure or table may not be necessary for a presentation. Consider simplifying figures and tables to focus on the key message you want to convey. See the ["Telling a story and making a point" chapter of Fundamentals of Data Visualization](https://clauswilke.com/dataviz/telling-a-story.html) for more guidance.
+
+Lab meetings are also good opportunity to practice your presentation skills and get feedback from Lab members.
+
+## Posters
+
+We have an experimental Lab poster template for Quarto located in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/StanfordHPDS/hpds-poster). This template uses [Typst](https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/typst.html). The poster template is not required, but it may be a useful starting point.
+
+A poster printing service local to Stanford is [Biotech Productions](https://www.biotech-productions.com/), which Lab members have used in the past with good experiences.

 ## Authorship
 
-We aim to discuss authorship early in the research process and have continuing conversations regarding team member roles. Plans can change and contributions may evolve over time. If you have authorship questions during the process of working on a project, we want you to feel empowered to ask these questions!

+## Publication-Ready Data Visualization
+
+Creating effective data visualizations for publication is a skill that takes practice. We recommend the following resources to help you create publication-ready figures:
+
+- [Fundamentals of Data Visualization](https://clauswilke.com/dataviz/) by Claus O. Wilke (free online book; created in R but does not include code in the text)
+- [Data Visualization: A Practical Introduction](https://socviz.co/) by Kieran Healy (partially free online; includes code in R)
+
+We also encourage you to seek feedback on your figures from Lab members and Dr. Rose, either individually or in a group setting.
+
 ## Journals
 
 The journal lists below are not exhaustive and largely focus on outlets where Lab members have previously published their work. Decisions about where to submit manuscripts for publication are made collaboratively to balance the needs and priorities of the team with as much deference as possible to what is best for the trainee author(s). We also publish in peer-reviewed conference proceedings, see @sec-conferences-field.
