Scientific paper

I review the latest results on the calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant
Branch as a standard candle, in the optical and in the near infrared. The
agreement among different and independent empirical calibrations is rather
good, if all the uncertainties are taken into account. The possible extension
of the calibration to SDSS photometric bands (i,z) is also discussed.
