Title:  On Blowup in the Keller-Segel model of Chemotaxis.

Abstract:  In this talk I report recent results on blowup of solutions of
the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis in the critical two dimensions. The
main result describes the blowup dynamics for a large class of initial
conditions near the stationary state (corresponding to the 'lowest 
energy').
The analysis reported combines rigorous, non-rigorous and numerical
arguments.
