If you have a question about this talk, please contact Mary Fortune.

Baron von Munchhausen escaped a swamp by pulling on his bootstraps. Sometimes it may be possible to derive results in physics or other areas from general principles with little apparent input. I will describe how such bootstrap methods were once all the rage, then fell out of fashion, but may be enjoying a resurgence.
