Abstract Marc van Regenmortel was the Editor‐in‐Chief of the Journal of Molecular Recognition for the last 25 years. Without attempting to summarize Marc's exceptional career and achievements, we would like to tell the story of the tortuous and contingent path to the unravelling of a key molecular recognition process in antigenicity. Life is indeed full of contingencies and scientific life, full of meetings and random encounters, is prone to contingencies, a key element in discovery and innovation.
