Nice piece in Science Times on Ellen Bialystok, a psychologist who's contributed massively to our understanding of bilingualism, here.
After complaining so often about science journalism dealing with language and linguistics (well, who hasn't?), I have to note that the Q&A structure of this piece is really nice.
Image is of a Pet Shop Boys album cover, from here.
