I will review new work on globular clusters as given in the conference `Globular Clusters: Formation, Evolution and the Role of Compact Objects' at the University of California at Santa Barbara last week. Topics I will touch on include HST and Chandra observations of clusters, the evidence for black holes in cluster centers, the status of cluster simulation, white dwarf cooling and age measurements, new millisecond pulsar results, and as much else as I have time for.
