Abstract

Meeting number 384 in the IAU’s Symposium series, Planetary Nebulae: a Universal Toolbox in the Era of Precision Astrophysics, featured an overwhelming array of exciting observational and theoretical developments in the study of planetary nebulae. I attempt to identify the themes and threads that ran through the meeting, some of them popping up in unexpected ways and connecting otherwise disparate science sessions. I also highlight key open questions that this meeting has raised for the benefit of future planetary nebula research.
