On the premiere episode of Season 3, we talk to Viorica Marian, a Psycholinguist, Cognitive Scientist, Psychologist, and author of the new book (out this week): The Power of Language: How the Codes We Use to Think, Speak, and Live Transform Our Minds.

Marian, who's known for her research on language, bilingualism, and multilingualism, tells us how being multi-lingual might just be our super power and why it's never too late to learn another language.

Marian is the Ralph and Jean Sundin Endowed Professor of Communication Sciences and Disorders, and Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University, and is the Principal Investigator of the Northwestern Bilingualism and Psycholinguistics Research Laboratory.
