  VERITAS is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes near
Tucson, Arizona and is one of the world's most sensitive detectors of very high
energy (VHE: >100 GeV) gamma rays. The scientific reach of VERITAS covers the
study of both extragalactic and Galactic objects as well as the search for
astrophysical dark matter. In these proceedings we will discuss the status of
VERITAS operations and upgrades and present a selection of recent results.
