The BBN Manifesto

Abstract

In this manifesto I review the status of standard BBN in light of recent observational data (e.g., QSO deuterium and Izotov etal. helium-4).

8 pages including one ps figure, LaTeX. Invited talk at the 4th Annual Nuclei in the Cosmos Conference. To be published in Nucl. Phys. A
