Thanks! I must admit that it took me longer to assemble this graphics rather than producing the tree itself 😆

2/2🧵 Call me a nerd, but my brain goes crazy for #phylogenetic trees: I find them elegant and easy to read! So I couldn't help but to draw one for my #invertober2025 wrap-up 🖥️🧬

I also run a series of basics stats 👀 see them below and find the full explanation on github.com/filonico/inv...

Ooow I see, I will consider it for sure 😯

OMG please don't drag me into another invert-based sci art event...what is #InverteFest?!

And now I'm just missing the last invertober 🥹 I can finally rest

I know I could've just drawn the head part of the worm coming out from the sand, but that was *unacceptable* for my OCD (see below for how to read this)

Eventually it's me to blame...

Also, that would have not complied with the rest of my invertober and the final project I have in mind 👀

3/3 🧵 Sometimes I find myself wondering if I'm suited for this work (or maybe if this work is suited for me?), especially for the pace it demands.

I believe we can build a work culture that values both sustainable rhythms and good science. But will the rest of the (reasearch) world accept that?

2/3 🧵 Dont get me wrong, I'm not referring to research itself—which is truly beatiful and rewarding—but to the way we do it.

I was taught that scientific research takes time, that "in-depth thinking is in the end what the academic world is about". But then, how come ppl do the exact opposite??
