A smiling woman with long, braided hair stands to the left of a large, scientific poster board. The poster is titled "Overmedicalization in the Age of Social Media: GenZ's Struggle with Self-Diagnosis." The poster has sections including "Background," "Bad Studies and Crip Theory," "Recommendations for Higher Education," and "Conclusion." The woman is wearing a light blue, collared shirt and dark pants. A conference lanyard with a nametag hangs around her neck, and a sunflower pin is attached to the lanyard. She is looking directly at the camera. In front of the poster board on a covered table, there is a small cup of water, a yellow sticky note, and some other small objects. The poster board itself is on an easel. The background appears to be a conference hall with beige walls and a lamp on the far left side of the image.
