\section{Introduction}
\begin{block}{Why to give a poster:}
\begin{itemize}
\item show the main arguments and results of your work
\item produce interest to read the full paper/report
\item goal: be educational and also entertaining
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Advantages of using \LaTeX ~with the \texttt{sciposter} package:}
\begin{itemize}
\item very easy if the report is already written in \LaTeX
\item different themes which are usable in practice
\item possibility to adopt presentation slides using \emph{beamerarticle}
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\section{Body}
\subsection{Equations}
\begin{block}{Pythagoras theorem:}
\begin{equation}
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \label{eq:pythogoras}
\end{equation} \end{block}
\begin{block}{It follows that:}
\begin{align}
a^2 &= c^2 - b^2 \\
b^2 &= c^2 - a^2
\end{align}
\end{block}

\begin{block}{Citations:}
\begin{itemize}
\item you may use short citations like~\cite{grossman:chicago_manual}
\item people can look up the numbers in the list of references
\item alternative: use full citations instead
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Example for a full citation:}
\small\fullcite{hering:technical_reports}
\end{block}
\section{Summary and Outlook}
\begin{block}{Conclusion:}
\begin{itemize}
\item summarize the main results of your work
\item also talk about remaining tasks or problems
\end{itemize}
\end{block}
\begin{block}{Outlook:}
\begin{itemize}
\item What research questions are still open?
\item Where would you continue if you have more time?
