Results from BaBar

We describe the most recent results from the BaBar experiment, focusing on direct and indirect searches for new physics effects. We will discuss measurements of rates and CP-violating asymmetries in rare decays of $B$ mesons, search for CP violation in $\tau$-lepton decays, and direct searches for low-mass dark sector and Higgs boson candidates. These measurements are unique to the B-factories and are complementary in their new physics sensitivity to direct searches at the LHC.
