Description
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the $Fermi$ mission began routine science
operations almost exactly three years ago, on August 4, 2008, and has operated nearly
flawlessly and stably. It has surveyed the sky in the 20 MeV to >300 GeV energy
range with unprecedented depth and resolution and frequency of coverage. The rate of
scientific return from the LAT continues to be high. I will present an overview of
recent work, including general LAT catalogs and studies of source populations,
investigations of transient sources as varied as the Sun, the Crab Nebula, and
gamma-ray bursts, results on cosmic-ray production in the Milky Way, studies of
diffuse Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray emission, and limits on WIMP dark matter.
