I already know that you can unlock bonus powers by talking to squad members.

I already know that you can buy bonus powers at med-bay bonuspower store.

Be specific.

You can select a Bonus Power at any time on the Normandy after the game has started--only ones you've unlocked of course.

If you have access to the Normandy you can change it at any time by going on the Normandy and using one of the terminals in the Med Bay. You can't set it anywhere else mid-game, meaning no switches in missions.

Additionally, when starting a New Game + you get to pick one Bonus Power right when you start the game, so you'll have it before you reach the Normandy.

If you import a character from ME2 you still have to wait till you get to the Normandy (and unlock a bonus power) before you can set one.
