I will describe the LOFAR Tied Array All Sky Survey (LOTAAS), an on going all Northern sky survey for pulsars and transients. The survey has discovered more than 50 pulsars and I will present some of the recent highlights including interesting individual sources and the population so far. I will also present recent highlights from other LOFAR pulsar observations which probe the properties of the interstellar medium through both scattering and refraction. Using combined beamformed and
imaging observations I’ll also present results of deep radio eclipses by the companion to PSR J1810+1744.
