The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) surveyed the whole sky between 14 Jan 2010 and 5 August 2010 in 4 infrared bands centered at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 microns. The talks in this session will highlight WISE science team results. But on 14 April 2011 WISE made a preliminary data release (PDR) covering 57% of the sky which has already led to several published results from outside the WISE team. The single frame images and source extraction database have been used to study RR Lyra stars and a flaring X-ray binary, which both have variations in the 1-2 day typical WISE coverage span. Followup of NEOs found by WISE have led to well-publicized objects in resonance with the Earth: one in a horseshoe orbit and one a Trojan librating about the Earth-Sun L4 point. The coadded image atlas and catalog have been used to find high proper motion stars including several late Ts dwarf and a nearby L dwarf in the Kepler field. I expect many more groups will find gems hidden in the WISE PDR and especially in the WISE final data release scheduled for 2012.
