Selected microlensing research highlights

• Catch a new planet – at the 2008 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition (30 Jun to 3 Jul 2008)

• The unlonely planets – Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn analogue (Science, 15 Feb 2008)

• Discovery of OGLE 2005-BLG-390Lb, the first cool rocky/icy exoplanet (Nature, 25 Jan 2006)

from 30 June to 3 July, we were in London:
