Fast radio bursts are bright pulses of millisecond duration of extragalactic origin that astronomers have been studying since their discovery almost two decades ago. Following a brief introduction to the field, I will review recent and ongoing projects that aim to better characterize the nature of the underlying populations of these enigmatic sources. I will conclude with some ideas about future projects which I hope will be of broad interest.
