Abstract: While literature on research posters continues to grow in the sciences writing center scholarship has yet to fully engage in exploring th pedagogy of research posters, let alone the facets of its multimoda components.Over the last few decades, research poster sessions in major academic conferences have grown in number, requiring the research i the poster to not only be presented clearly and succinctly but also be de signed in a memorable way.As a significant communication genre tha embraces multimodal design, research posters and sessions may provide exceptional occasions for students in the sciences and the humanities to learn multimodal design.For multiliteracy centers, the research poster itself could become the cross-disciplinary anchor for multiliteracies pedagogy.This article explores how research posters, as a ubiquitous and important genre in the STEM fields, can help make multiliteracy work visible, increasing students' awareness of their everyday engagement in multimodal communication.
