The
all-sky TESS mission will soon revolutionize our view of planets
transiting the nearest, brightest stars to the Sun, just as the
four-year survey by NASA's Kepler mission transformed our understanding
of exoplanet demographics. Using the repurposed Kepler spacecraft, the
ongoing K2 mission provides a natural transition from Kepler to TESS in
terms of sky coverage, survey duration, and intensity of ground-based
follow-up observations. For the past three years I have led a large,
multi-institutional team to discover, follow up, validate, and
characterize hundreds of new candidates and planets using data from K2. I
will highlight some of our key results from the first two years of K2
data, and will conclude with a discussion of the path forward to future
exoplanet discovery and characterization.
