  Over the past decades, research into strongly correlated electron materials
that has consistently outperformed our wildest expectations, with new
discoveries and radically new theoretical insights. SCES '05 reaffirmed this
vitality. Highlight areas included parity violating superconductivity, a new,
two dimensional Helium-3 ``Kondo lattice'' and the discovery of quantum
critical ferro-electricity. I review these and many other developments, with an
emphasis on open questions and prospects for the future.
