I will survey a few basic ideas about Differential Harnack Inequalities in the spirit of Li and Yau, and how they lead to Classical Harnack inequalities for parabolic equations. Then I will discuss what sort of inequalities are known of this type for one or more geometric flows, including Ricci flow, and maybe mean curvature flow.
