We are going to discuss some recent results pertaining to the Falconer distance conjecture, including the joint paper with Guth, Ou and Wang establishing the $\frac{5}{4}$ threshold in the plane. We are also going to discuss the extent to which the sharpness of our method and similar results is tied to the distribution of lattice points on convex curves and surfaces.
