"*Current Science and Paths Forward for Exoplanet Atmospheres*"

The field of exoplanet atmospheres has advanced steadily over the past ~15
years due to the interplay of observations and modeling.  Although
typically hampered by telescope instrumentation that was never designed to
study exoplanet spectra, the broad outlines of the atmospheres of
Jupiter-class, Neptune-class, and sub-Neptune-class planets are starting to
come into focus.  I will touch on some recent highlights in the modeling of
hot Jupiters as a class and the well-studied prototype warm Neptune GJ
436b.  I'll close with a look towards JWST, and also theoretical
expectations for rocky planets in late 2030's by potential NASA telescopes
like LUVOIR/HabEx and the Origins Space Telescope (OST).
