An update on exact WKB and supersymmetric field theory

Over the last decade it has become clear that there is a close connection between the BPS sector of N=2 supersymmetric field theories in four dimensions and the exact WKB method for analysis of ordinary differential equations (Schrodinger equations and their higher-order analogues). I will review the basic players in this story and some of the main results, and describe some outstanding puzzles.
