Title: "Recent Results and Trends in Charm Physics" 

Abstract: Charm particles carry flavour belonging to the up-quark sector.
This leads to very small mixing and CP violation in decay rates. Mixing 
was first in evidence just 6 years ago, and direct CPV may also have been
seen in the last two. Doubts that these results can be said to behave as
predicted by the standard model do exist. Present evidence and future
experimental potential for shedding further light on this will be discussed.
