Want to create some kickass science poster? You have come to the right dojo

I came across the posterdown R package which could create awesome science posters. It was great, but customising certain aspects meant digging into config files and being a final year PhD scholar, I didn't have that much time. Then, I happened to tumble down a rabbit hole browsing the bird site

Mike Morrison's video on How to create a better research poster in less time got me hooked and I decided to give it a shot. Below is a scattered compilation of all the resources I went through to make my workshop poster
