Midwinter sunsets still arrive before dinner, which makes late Slack feel later than the clock. That is why Basel feels ruder to ping in winter than a map suggests. Life-science mornings start at 07:30. Evening Slack is a misread of the culture. The polite window around the pharma campuses is 07:00–17:00 local. Basel still shifts with daylight saving (UTC+1 in January, UTC+2 in July). On an ordinary weekday in Basel, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
