=Title=

The proton radius puzzle and its intersections

 

=Abstract=

The proton radius puzzle continues to be controversially discussed despite recent new developments. The puzzle has intersections with the
 nucleon form factor program and aspects of the electromagnetic probe
 itself, such as two-photon exchange and lepton universality.
 I will review the current status and some explicit experimental
 efforts to expand the full picture and its implications, as a prerequisite for a possible resolution of the puzzle.
