You may remember last year’s stirring rendition of “I’m Dreaming of a White Poster.” It was fantastically popular and, we heard, strongly considered for a “moonman” award. (Taylor Swift, look out!)
We know that the number of submissions to Duke Research Computing Symposium poster session spiked as a result of Mark DeLong’s mellow and emotional crooning.
So this year, we draw inspiration from another lyrical masterpiece from the same immortal 1954 motion picture classic, specifically: “The Haynes Sisters’ ” exhilarating “Sisters, Sisters.” This is the 2017 Symposium Poster Sing-Along (words below).
The tune, we figured, will rouse poster-makers from their couches and get them going on their True Calling, Really Science-y Endeavors.
Remember, submit your intent to submit email by 11:59:59 pm on January 15, 2017! Submissions close at midnight! Detailed information is here. And there are TWO opportunities — consider the Scholars@Duke Data Visualization Challenge, too!

The inspiration for the video came from Irving Berlin’s White Christmas and specifically this scene:
The whole movie, by the way, is on Netflix.
This is our small way of Making Posters Great Again.
