It was supposed to take place in Delmenhorst (Germany) at the Hanse Wissenschaft-skolleg (Institute for Advanced Study) in May (10–12) of 2021. Almost 40 scientists from around the world submitted proposals. Springer Publishers committed to a book supposed to be printed at the end of 2021 or spring of 2022. And then came Covid-19. The World Health Organization reported (in May of 2021) 5.5 million cases; almost 100,000 died as that time. It was only the beginning. As undesired as this pandemic was (and still is), it became a test of a number of various assumptions— including those related to in-person conferences. Leaving aside economic, social, political, racial, ethical, and other considerations—all of extreme significance—it is clear that science itself underwent a major experiment. Genetics played a spectac-ular role: millions of all kinds of sequencing operations were carried out. Epidemi-ology scored also high. Despite spectacular technical performance, and despite the heroic efforts of many practicing physicians, it is quite evident that science failed to prevent the disaster, not to say to properly address it. Of course, substantiating a value judgment as radical as the one I just articulated would take more than some introductory lines to this volume. (Actually, I dedicated a whole book to the subject). The pandemic became volens-nolens the opportunity to frame the subject of this publication: Anticipation and Epigenetics.
