Enormous thanks to @immunologyking.bsky.social and @maurogaya.bsky.social for organizing a vibrant, invigorating #EMBObarriertissues workshop. A poignant reminder of how critical
immunological studies are for ameliorating human disease. And a lot of fun people. 🐟 #wickelfisch

Scantily clad people watch other scantily clad people float down the Rhine as it passes under the bridges in Basel. They are holding brightly coloured waterproof Wickelfisch swim bags, which are filled with belongings (clothes, shoes, cell phone) then rolled down to seal, giving the holder more buoyancy. This is hands down the most fun thing to do in this city if you're there in the summer.

11. Figuring out foreign washing machines is a challenge. Add a once-a-week wash rule, an absent machine card, and just one clean pair of underwear, and I'm entering crisis mode. Also, showers. Every single one worked differently. And they don't have instructions, at all. #Basel #Wickelfisch
