Understanding the epoch of reionization is extremely difficult due to significant observational challenges and only a vague theoretical picture of the underlying physical processes. Fortunately, in the past year there have been many developments that address these difficulties. As examples I will discuss HERA, a proposed radio interferometer designed specifically to observe this epoch, and new Bayesian methods for foreground removal and signal recovery. Finally, I will present some ideas for extracting physically meaningful quantities from the upcoming measurements.
