Midplane models of protoplanetary disks find that the cold temperatures in the outer parts of the disk ensure that virtually all molecules are accreted onto the grains.

We discuss concepts for deploying direct detection interferometers in space which are optimized for the wavelength range 40 meu to 500 meu. In particular we introduce two missions in NASA's current strategic plan: SPIRIT (SPace InfraRed Interferometric Telescope) and SPECS (Submillimeter Probe of the Evolution of Cosmic Structure).
We present three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics models for the evolution of magnetically supported clouds by ambipolar diffusion.

We report the detection of emission from methanol in a compact source coincident with the position of the L1157 infrared source, which we attribute to molecules in the disk surrounding this young, class 0 protostellar object.
We develop the use of the population diagram method to analyze molecular emission in order to derive physical properties of interstellar clouds.

The dust continuum emission provides information aboiut the chemical depletion and the properties of cold cores where there is a lack of gas tracers.
We present the results of three dimensional hydrodynamic models of evolving, isolated, low mass, quiescent clouds and Bok gobules, where the interstellar radiation field plays an important role in the thermal and chemical evolution, and thermal pressure provides dominant support against gravitational collapse.
From the early days of the discovery of radio emission from carbon monoxide it was realized that it offered unusual potential for under- standing the chemical evolution of the Galaxy and external galaxies through measurements of molecular isotopes. These results bear on stellar nucleosynthesis, star formation, and gases in the interstellar medium. Progress in isotopic radio measurements will be reviewed.
