Chairs: Igor Andreoni and Sara Bonito

This session will focus on current and future LSST science with transients and variable stars. Note that this session will be followed by Transients and Variable Stars II.

Please contact the session chair with any questions, or if you'd like to volunteer to speak or help with this session.
