The science poster reimagined

I was listening to this story on the way home, and I had to look at the story to get the visuals.  Very interesting.  I have created and read a lot of science/medicine posters over the years at various meetings, and I can see this new format really taking off.

Death by paper power point.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

I guess the same concept can be applied to anything where you are trying to grab someone's attention.  If you can't communicate the basic premise in a few seconds, you are losing a good portion of your potential audience.  Sort of like ads/videos that don't tell you what they are advertising in the first 5 seconds or repeat it enough that you remember it without trying.

Does the UPC code link to the research or is that something else?

^ Thanks.
