== Biography ==
Julia Galef was born and grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. She has a brother, Jesse, who later became director of communications for the Secular Student Alliance. She credits her parents, who she describes as "truth-seekers", as contributors to her level of skepticism and interest for critical thinking. Her dad would, instead of giving the answer, lead his children through the reasoning process while listening to their arguments or let them look things up. Also, her dad kept his children on their toes by telling them untruths as a joke.〔
Galef attended the International Baccalaureate program at Richard Montgomery High School. She then attended, from 2001 to 2005, Columbia University in New York City, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Statistics. While an undergraduate, she worked as a research assistant for several professors of business, economics, and statistics, and co-authored a paper with the World Bank assessing the performance of non-governmental organizations in Bangladesh. Upon graduation, Galef moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she worked for a year as a research assistant at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and for another year as a casewriter for Harvard Business School in the Business, Government and International Economics department.〔 〕
Galef then moved to New Haven, CT to begin a PhD in economics at Yale University. However, she left the program after one year, having decided against a career in economics. She then moved back to New York and worked for several years as a freelance writer. She at first focused on urban planning and design, and spent over a year as an editor at ''The Architect's Newspaper''. She also wrote for other for design and architecture magazines such as ''Metropolis'', the ''Architects' Journal'' and ''Planetizen.''〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Design Observer Group )〕'' ''Around 2009, however, she began transitioning into covering science and philosophy, since she kept wanting to ask her interview subjects, “And how do you know that?” and found that only scientists and philosophers were truly happy to answer that question.
