Abstract
We present an update of results from the HPQCD collaboration on charm physics using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action. This includes a precise determination of mc using moments of current-current correlators combined with high-order continuum QCD perturbation theory. We also include an update on the determination of αs from lattice QCD, preliminary results on the determination of mb and a summary plot of the status of the gold-plated meson spectrum. There is an appendix on tackling systematic errors in fitting using the Bayesian approach.
