I met my husband because his mom is a leader in the field of developmental psycholinguistics, and back when I was 23 I was a grad student in the same field.

A study she did is running in the new issue of Science this week (this is about the most important journal out there), and it’s getting a huge amount of press attention. I’m so excited for her, and for her lab and her colleagues and her students!
