Many domains of science have developed complex simulations to describe phenomena of interest. While these simulations provide high-fidelity models, they are poorly suited for inference and lead to challenging inverse problems. We review the rapidly developing field of simulation-based inference and identify the forces giving new momentum to the field. Finally, we describe how the frontier is expanding so that a broad audience can appreciate the profound change these developments may have on science.

The Well-Tempered Likelihood: Honest Confidence Intervals for Misspecified Models
Dividing the likelihood-ratio statistic by a goodness-of-fit statistic stops confidence intervals from collapsing under model misspecification, making them self-limit at a floor set by the model's inadequacy.
