🫕 Happy August 1st from the library!
We're raising a toast to Swiss science — past and present.

These gems from a 1911 hydrobiology course are part fieldwork, part alpine postcard.
Beer after sampling? Timeless. Fieldwork in a suit? Thankfully, not.

Here’s to science, scenery, and a bit of 1911 style. 🇨🇭

A Happy #Lughnasadh

to those, who, like me, celebrate the first harvest as the northern year transitions to #Autumn, and for those who feel comfortable receiving those blessings.

A Happy #August

as well.

And:

A Happy #SwissNationalDay

to my Swiss friends.

It’s Swiss National Day. 🇨🇭 So I don’t have to work and will enjoy some free time. Maybe go outside or do nothing at all.

Good food 🧀, iced coffee ☕️ and mountain views. 🏔️
See you tomorrow. 👋

1st of August is Swiss National Day. During public holidays I'm forbidden to use the washing machine, because it would make too much noise. But(!) it's completely fine for random people and(!) the city to organise fireworks. 🤔🤷‍♂️
