In this talk, we discuss nearly G2 structures, which define positive Einstein metrics, and are, up to scale, critical points of a geometric flow called (modified) Laplacian co-flow. We will discuss a recent joint work with Jason Lotay showing that many of these nearly G2 critical points are unstable for the flow.
