Abstract
The story told in this autobiographical perspective begins fifty years ago at the 1967 Gordon Research Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Liquids. It traces developments in liquid-state science from that time, including contributions from the author, and especially in the study of liquid water. It emphasizes the importance of fluctuations, and the challenges of far-from-equilibrium phenomena.
Invited autobiographical piece prepared for the Annual Reviews of Physical Chemistry
