I am Julia Schneider aka Doc J Snyder, a Berlin-based comic author. I create tailor-made comic essays – often on complex topics at the intersection of society, economics, art, data and technology. My goal is to inspire people to form their own positions by bridging the gap between intellect and intuition. I advocate for playful and fear-free access to relevant knowledge, for example with open licenses. Check out my latest comic essay “Money Matters – Ein Comic Essay über Geld” if you would like to know more about money (with Pauline Cremer and Miriam Beblo, in German). My best known work to date is the comic essay on artificial intelligence “We Need to Talk, AI – A Comic Essay on Artificial Intelligence” (with Lena Kadriye Ziyal). It is available in English, German (“KI, wir müssen reden – Ein Comic Essay über Künstliche Intelligenz”), Turkish, Spanish, Russian and Slovenian, and as open online course. I have a PhD in economics (empirical microeconometric studies of the labor market) and worked for many years in academic economics and data science. (And for a shorter time as a professional curtain and draperies salesperson.)
