Description
Many dark matter (DM) models predict that DM in a broad range of astrophysical settings could annihilate or decay into Standard Model particles at rates that would be detectable by contemporary telescopes and cosmic-ray experiments. I will review the status of indirect DM searches with a special focus on recent experimental and theoretical developments. I will also consider future observations that might resolve some of the current anomalies, and generally increase the reach of indirect DM searches.
