Gold nanocrystals have been made by humans, knowingly or not, for centuries.  With the advent of increasingly better syntheses and tools, the science and art of creating gold nanocrystals of controlled size, shape, and surface chemistry has greatly advanced.  Because gold nanocrystals are so versatile and well-established, numerous applications in areas such as metamaterials, clinical diagnostics, and cancer therapeutics in coming online. In this talk I will showcase the latest advances in this area, paying homage to Priestley Medalist M. A. El-Sayed.
