Vote for a Development cover – Woods Hole Images 2015, Round 2
Posted by the Node, on 31 May 2017
The Woods Hole Embryology Course, which will celebrate its 124th birthday this year, is a continual source of beautiful images (and videos) of development. Since 2011 the Node has run a competition for the community to pick the best images from a given year – the winning pictures become immortalised as Development covers.
Below you will find 4 images from Round 2 of the 2015 course (Round 1 was won by Theodora Koromila’s lunar chicken embryo), and a poll to vote in at the end. You can see full size versions by clicking on the images.
The poll is set up to allow only one vote per person, and closes at 13.00 BST on Wednesday 21st June.
