The search for new (co-)editor of Language has started! Please circulate widely. And do reach out if you have questions and/or are interested in applying. I did this job for six years — it was hard work, but also very rewarding.

A great account to follow for all things bilingualism, the broader language sciences, and capacity building for STEM — and if we’re lucky, maybe some doggy pictures. Welcome, Jorge!
Hi! I am a new user having just made the switch within the last week. I'm a psycholinguist interested in bilingual sentence processing and comprehension during bilingual conversations! What's different about bilingual conversations? 1/n
