Abstract
The most recent evidence for geodetic precession observed in binary radio pulsars is presented and discussed. It is demonstrated how an analysis of these results can be used to study theories of gravity, stellar evolution and pulsar emission theory. In order to highlight the observational strategies, an overview of the applied techniques is given.
