Abstract

Dominique François-Bongarçon’s piece in TOS forum issue 3 offered a clear view of the status of the TOS community, summarising where our present knowledge stands, how it is applied today and the challenges ahead. Here we want to continue this effort and share our considerations on how we can go from former knowledge, tradition, to new knowledge and scientific development, without fear of progress and innovation. We also reflect on some more worrisome experiences from the world community of samplers, our scientific duties and on the problem of individualistic pursuits.
