Create professional research posters in LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter. This is the default poster skill for conference presentations, academic posters, and scientific communication. Includes layout design, color schemes, multi-column formats, figure integration, and poster-specific best practices. For editable PowerPoint output, use pptx-posters (HTML/CSS-based) or poster-presentation (python-pptx-based) instead.
