SUMMARY:The Variable High-Energy Gamma-Ray Sky\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particl
 e/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Julie McEnery\, Goddard GSFC\, Maryland
DESCRIPTION:The launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope in 2008 
 has ushered in a new era for the study of the extreme Universe. In add
 ition to ground-breaking improvements in sensitivity and angular resol
 ution\, providing the deepest and sharpest view of the high-energy gam
 ma-ray sky\, Fermi also has opened a whole new window in the time doma
 in. With a large field of view allowing complete coverage of the sky e
 very 3 hours\, Fermi can "catch" rare and exciting transient events in
  addition to following the behaviour of all gamma-ray emitters as a fu
 nction of time. In this talk\, I will review some of the surprises unc
 overed by Fermi on timescales from milliseconds to years and describe 
 how these results have advanced our understanding of some of the most 
 extreme phenomena known to astrophysics.
