Choosing the disciplines that will make up bioinformatics profession is not my responsibility. But such interest can be expressed by any bioinformatician. The desire is to preserve human energies is in both directions, for work and because of work. This means being able to practice the profession in good health, close to those to people we loves and with the necessary rewards to maintain well-being. Not to mention that having an occupation that allows a person to support a family, ensure health, and accumulate wealth is in the interest of the entire community.
Preserving the bioinformatics profession is linked to the following factors: choice of disciplines to be studied, the work environment, the computer ergonomics, salaries, hierarchies, and so on. Computer science and data science seem to be the most well-established foundations of bioinformatics. Moreovere, an individual bioinformatics office, or one with few bioinformaticians, favors healthy concentration. This is especially true when full workdays in front of a computer are the norm. Furthermore, defining an exact salary figure is difficult, but it is known that the job demands attention to lifestyle that includes costs for maintaining health, supporting family, maintaining values and techinologies, etc. Since the salary returns to society in the form of consumption around the profession, it's possible to calculate the minimum amount the profession needs to be sustainable. Regarding hierarchy, bioinformatics is already mature enough not to need to be subordinated to other disciplines.
I also mention that rules and regulations for preserving professional expertise can be defined within legal frameworks and laws. Bioinformaticians can be protected by law in the same way that the integrity of any individual is protected. Defending integrity is defending expertise.
