Abstract: I summarize some recent developments in FRB observation and theory, including the two CHIME Nature papers from Jan 9, and updates from the Weizmann FRB workshop. The talk will focus on two aspects: might FRBs be, and what are FRBs likely useful for. I will end in a forward look towards near and longer term initiatives.
