Woods Hole images 2014 round 1- vote for a Development cover
Posted by the Node, on 18 January 2016
Every year, students from the Woods Hole Embryology course produce some stunning images. It’s now time for readers of the Node to vote which of images from the 2014 Woods Hole Embryology course will be a Development cover! Below you will find 4 beautiful images from the course. Choose the one you would like to see in the cover of Development by voting on the poll at the end of the post (you can see bigger versions by clicking on the images). The poll is set up to allow only one vote per person, so please stick to this rule to give all the images a fair chance!
Voting will close noon GMT on February the 4th.

what a beautiful bat~
Although the bat image is indeed excellent and will probably be the most popular in the vote, it is suprising to have a tweet inviting people to vote that promotes one of the choices:

Thank you for your comment Elena. We absolutely agree with you that we should not be showing preference for any of the images, which is why we have highlighted all of the images individually over several tweets in the last few weeks (https://twitter.com/the_Node/status/691641093377675264/photo/1 and https://twitter.com/the_Node/status/690113354522820608/photo/1 we will tweet the last image early next week). We hoped that this would be a good way to encourage voting as it is such a great way to display how beautiful each of the images is!

Thank you for the reply. It is good to now that there is no biais. However, as twitter users do not see all the tweets throughout the day or days that the vote lasts, it is preferable to show all the images together as you just did here. https://twitter.com/the_Node/status/694852302423851010
