Skate wins again
Posted by Eva Amsen, on 11 December 2012
Remember the skate image by David Gold, Lynn Kee, and Meghan Morrissey of the 2011 Woods Hole embryology course? It won the cover competition in April, and appeared on the cover of Development issue 139(12).
Today, at the Company of Biologists Christmas lunch, we held a small inter-journal cover competition. Over the past few weeks, all our colleagues from Development, Journal of Cell Science, Biology Open, Disease Models and Mechanisms and the Journal of Experimental Biology voted for their favourite (and least favourite) covers submitted by editors of each journal. Development had submitted the skate cover – and won! It was a close race with JEB’s chameleon cover.
Of course this was all YOUR doing. Thanks David, Lynn, and Meghan for taking the image, and thanks to everyone else for voting it onto the cover. You helped us win chocolate for the office!
Oooh – mince pies. I’m crashing the office Christmas party.
