I will discuss the current status of understanding for the geometry and constructions of minimal surface doublings. In particular I will discuss in more detail results related to the Linearized Doubling (LD) approach (Kapouleas: JDG 2017, Kapouleas-McGrath: CPAM 2019, and Kapouleas-McGrath: Camb. J. Math. (to appear); arXiv:2001.04240v3) and some ongoing work.
