The current status of transport coefficients in relativistic field theories at high temperature is re-
viewed. I contrast weak coupling results obtained using kinetic theory/diagrammatic techniques
with strong coupling results obtained using gauge/gravity duality, and describe the recent devel-
opments in extracting transport coefficients and spectral functions from lattice QCD simulations.
The fate of quarkonium at high temperature as seen from the lattice is briefly mentioned as well.
