Ever since Paul Dirac let the cat among the pigeons in his seminal 1937 paper, the possibility that the fundamental constants of nature might be neither constant nor fundamental has haunted the foundations of physics. The legacy of John Barrow in the field of “varying constants'' is immense, covering not only both theory and observations in their usual separate lives, but contributing to the interplay between them. In this meeting we celebrate this legacy by going to the forefront of the field Barrow helped to create and consolidate.
