Abstract
We summarize recent progress in the understanding of minimal string theory, focusing on the worldsheet description of physical operators and D-branes. We review how a geometric interpretation of minimal string theory emerges naturally from the study of the D-branes. This simple geometric picture ties together many otherwise unrelated features of minimal string theory, and it leads directly to a worldsheet derivation of the dual matrix model.
