TESS Science Conference II
Aug 2 - 6 2021, Online
Posters will be viewed online using the following platforms:
A virtual 2D environment ran on a web browser or a desktop app, using graphics that is reminiscent of 1990’s video games. In Gather.Town attendees walk around in the virtual environment using an avatar, and interact using audio and video with others whose avatar is nearby. This platform is quickly gaining popularity as it is easy to use and mimics well the real life experience of walking around and bumping into colleagues. This virtual environment will be available throughout the conference week, and there will be two dedicated virtual poster sessions. A brief introduction to Gather.Town is shown in this video.
To locate a poster in Gather.Town we assigned each poster a poster ID, composed of the Poster Hall (or room) it is located in on Gather.Town, among the nine poster halls, and the poster number (from 1 to 24) within that hall. For exmaple, poster ID 3.21 is located in Poster Hall 3, poster 21. The list of posters along with their ID is here.
The Gather.Town space includes a TOI Helpdesk (in the main room), where TOI team members will be available during poster sessions to answer any and all questions about TOIs.
Posters will be entirely electronic and freely available online through Zenodo, an EU funded data and project repository. All submissions must therefore be made on Zenodo's webpage.
To facilitate accessibilty and
visibility, all contributions to the proceedings will indexed on
the ADS.
Briefly, all submissions are assigned a Digital
Object Identifier (DOI) number by Zenodo,
making contributions
citeable. Once all contributions are received, ADS will be
notified, they will scrape the Zenodo collection, and then ADS
will index each of the contributions as part of a larger volume
(Proceedings for TESS Science Conference II). To ensure that all entries
are properly indexed, it is vital that each contribution
include appropriate metadata. In the tutorial below, you'll be
instructed about which metadata to include in your submission.
Submission to
the arXiv is
optional. However, if you submit to the arXiv, you must make
sure to update the metadata in your Zenodo collection properly
so that it does not get listed twice in ADS.
Posters will be listed on the conference website, which will include links to the poster on Zenodo, and/or, to a poster-looking website created by the authors. That website can host an interactive poster, e.g. have interactive figures. The organizers encourage poster presenters to take advantage of the opportunity of the conference being online to make interactive posters.
For instructions on types of posters and how to submit your poster, please scroll to the bottom of the page.

You may upload up to three files with a poster. One file is your poster as pdf. Optionally you can include a second file of type png or jpeg, which we will use as thumbnail on the website; look at Cool Stars 20.5 posters for examples.
The third type of file is an (optional) video recording of you presenting your poster. This video should not exceed 5 minutes, and should be posted in a standard format. The TSC2 team will not edit any videos; we may contact you if your video is too long or in some other way inappropriate so that you may upload a new version.
We encourage people to experiment with interactive posters (e.g. interactive figures on a website). Some examples can be found on the Cool Stars 20.5 conference website. If you want to make an interactive poster, contact tsc2@mit.edu and provide the organizers the URL of your poster. We don't have hard and fast rules on how to do interactive posters. Our feeling is that we, as a community, need to find better ways for posters in remote conferences. We may have more remote meetings even after the pandemic is over to reduce cost, greenhouse gases, and for easier access for astronomers from countries or institutions that don't have the travel budget to fly to a different continent for a few days of meeting. At the same time, we can't accept hundreds of remote talks, because nobody wants to listen to Zoom that long.
When making an interactive poster, you are welcome to upload to Zenodo a pdf version of your poster, which can be as simple as a screenshot of your interactive poster. Make sure it includes the URL of the interactive poster.
So, we encourage attendees to think about what might work for remote / interactive poster-like content beyond the usual static pdf. If you want to present interactive work or have other ideas or feedback, contact tsc2@mit.edu.
Submitting to Zenodo is rather simple, but it's important that all metadata be properly included so that articles get properly indexed on ADS. Below is a series of screenshots taking you through the submission process from start to finish.
Step 01: Follow the link
to the submission page for TESS Science Conference II.
Step 02: You'll be presented with a login screen:
If you have a Zenodo account, proceed to login. If you do not, you may login using your GitHub or ORCID account, or you may create a new account using the "Sign Up" button located at the bottom of the frame.
Step 03: Once you login, you'll be presented with an "Upload" screen:
Click the button to choose a
file on your local machine, or drag and drop a file
directly onto the screen.
Step 04: After you select one or more files where you will be
able to fill out a wide variety of file metadata on the
boxes below the upload box. Be sure that in
the "Communities" box you see "TESS Science Conference II". If you do not see this,
start typing it into the search bar and it
will automatically pop up.
Step 05: Now, start filling out information about your document. First, select the type of file you have just uploaded:
You will be asked to fix this if you do not do it correctly the first time.
It's important for ADS that this be done properly. Continue to fill in the requested
information, including the Description (i.e., Abstract).
Step 06: Fill in keywords. You can have as many keywords as you like, but the first keyword should be one from the following list because we will sort posters by the value in the first keyword. Any poster that does not match one of the major science topics below will be listed as "other".
Step 09: Open the "Contributors" section by clicking on it. Add "Adams, Elisabeth R" as an editor. Again, note that the name must be "Adams, Elisabeth R". Select Editor from the dropdown menu.
Step 10: Given credit where credit is due! If you referenced various works in your article, talk, or poster, give them credit by adding the reference information (yes, citations will be counted on ADS, but ADS will only know about them if you enter the information in the "References" section). See the image below about how to format the references:
This is basically a copy-paste of a bibliography.
Step 11: Fill out information about the Workshop as shown below:
Step 12: Review the information to make sure you've done everything properly and then click "Publish"! Or, if you'd like to save it and publish later, click "Save"
Step DONE: Congratulate yourself on a job well done.
Thanks to the CS20.5 team that provided very detailed instructions , which we adapted here for TSC2.
