SUMMARY:The Fermi Large Area Telescope\, Astrophysics\, Dark Matter Se
 arches and the 130GeV Line\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum
 \, Eric Charles\, SLAC
DESCRIPTION:The first four and a half years of Fermi LAT operations ha
 ve seen numerous exciting scientific results relating to many differen
 t topics\, some expected and others unexpected.  I will present a brie
 f overview of the Fermi mission and the role it plays in current parti
 cle astrophysics research.  Towards this end I will discuss some recen
 t scientific highlights involving both galactic and extra-galactic sou
 rces classes.  I will then spend the majority of the talk focusing on 
 searches for signatures of particle dark matter interactions.  In part
 icular I will describe the LAT team's search for spectral lines from g
 amma-ray annihilation or decay\, and discuss the status of claims of a
  line-like feature at 130 GeV near the Galactic center.
