adhominem Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 The first author is (almost) always the presenter. Generally, that will be a student who made the poster and conducted the experiments. Most profs couldn't be bothered to give a poster presentation haha.

premed_67 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 The first author is pretty much always the presenter. In my experience, even if someone did all the work and made the poster but can't make the conference to present, then whoever will present the poster is placed as first-author even if they didn't do most of the work lol not sure if this is always the case though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So usually that's the first author but it could be any co-author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the lab that I work in, we'd always have to place the presenter as the first author Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really it makes little difference, the involvement on a poster is taken much less seriously than the order on a published paper premed_67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
