\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?
