Quantum modular forms are functions with delicate modular properties that generalize mock modular forms. The q-series 3-manifold invariants provide new insights and computational tools in 3-manifold topology, 3d SQFT, and M-theory compactifications. In this talk I will survey the relation between these q-series invariants and quantum modular forms.
