Recent data in semileptonic B-meson decays indicate a coherent pattern of deviations from the Standard Model. I critically review these data and discuss their interpretation, both in terms of a generic effective-theory approach and in terms of more complete, but also more speculative, extensions of the Standard Model. Implications for future measurements are also briefly discussed. The seminar is online only: https://ijclab.zoom.us/j/94900481972
