We must do everything possible to avoid returning to the "inferno" of the early months of the pandemic [6] .

What can be summarized from the lessons learnt in what we have published in these last 2 years? Resilience, for sure; curiosity, and the desire to find new solutions; then that new alliances that may just have started to write a joint paper, may sometimes lead to a durable partnership. This be my wish for the new year (Fig. 1) .

I know that this may seem simplistic and overly optimistic. We are human. We will disagree, we'll be jealous, we'll argue.

But let's hope that curiosity, resilience and liberty of mind can help us find new solutions and face the future challenges that we will ineluctably have to face, not only in fighting a new enemy, but also when using new technologies and reinforced alliances to disentangle old questions.
