The origin of dwarf or low mass stars is one of the most interesting and challenging problems of modern astrophysics. In recent years advances in observational technology particularly at infrared and millimeter wavelengths, have produced an avalanche of revealing new data, unexpected discoveries and new mysteries about the process of star formation. From this new knowledge a complete empirical picture of stellar origins is being synthesized and a more profound and penetrating understanding of the physical process of star formation in our galaxy is beginning to emerge. It is now apparent, for example, that energetic bipolar outflows are a fundamental aspect of the formation of low mass stars and understanding how a star can form by the act of ejecting mass may be the key to unlocking the secrets of stellar genesis.
