The IMF in Starbursts
The history of the IMF in starburst regions is reviewed. The IMFs are no
longer believed to be top-heavy, although some superstar clusters, whether in
starburst regions or not, could be. General observations of the IMF are
discussed to put the starburst results in perspective. Observed IMF variations
seem to suggest that the IMF varies a little with environment in the sense that
denser and more massive clusters produce more massive stars, and perhaps more
brown dwarfs too, compared to intermediate mass stars.Comment: 8 pages, to be published in ``Starbursts: from 30 Doradus to Lyman

Baryons: What, When and Where?
We review the current state of empirical knowledge of the total budget of
baryonic matter in the Universe as observed since the epoch of reionization.
Our summary examines on three milestone redshifts since the reionization of H
in the IGM, z = 3, 1, and 0, with emphasis on the endpoints. We review the
observational techniques used to discover and characterize the phases of
baryons. In the spirit of the meeting, the level is aimed at a diverse and
non-expert audience and additional attention is given to describe how space
missions expected to launch within the next decade will impact this scientific
field.Comment: Proceedings Review for "Astrophysics in the Next Decade: JWST and
