The Thinking Muse is a magazine covering culture, science, and curiosities of every kind. Just as the Greek Muses whispered inspiration for the arts and sciences, the mission of The Thinking Muse is to provide inspiration. Inspiration for introverts, nerds, and smarty-pants.

Who is behind The Thinking Muse?

My name is Franzi Schneider-Krumpus and I am the creator of The Thinking Muse. You know how there are people who are in love with the idea of love? Well, I am inspired by inspiration. I get such a rush when I encounter a new flash of insight that I want to share that thrill with you.

I love to learn, but know that I will always be a work-in-process. I am curious, practical, straight-talking, anxiety-ridden, and extremely fortunate to have the life that I do. I am a wife, mother, and homemaker living in Minneapolis.

My favorite things include puzzles, science -especially cosmology, museums, travel, books, dance team, food -both making and eating it, and reading paperback mysteries.
