Humans make decisions every day. As individuals, voters, and citizens of the world, the choices we make have the power to shape the world around us. The problem is, we don't make choices very well. Sense and Sensibility and Science attempts to address this. Our undergraduate curriculum uses the tools developed by science to help people better understand the world around them and make better decisions together in an increasingly uncertain world.
