We give a purely contact and symplectic geometric characterization of Anosov flows in dimension 3 and set up a framework to use tools from contact and symplectic geometry and topology in the study of questions about Anosov dynamics. If time permits, we will discuss some uniqueness results for the underlying (bi-) contact structure for an Anosov flow, and/or a characterization of Anosovity based on Reeb flows.
