About the series
Better information, better choices
Every day we decide what to buy, what to eat, how to spend time and money, raise children, and manage homes. The Art and Science of Smart Living is a weekly, one-hour webinar series that brings science, guidelines, and practical know-how into those decisions — so participants understand not only what to do, but why it works.
Much of our everyday decision-making is influenced by habit, advice from people around us, and information we encounter online. At the same time, our choices can be shaped by advertising, laws and regulations, social norms, psychology, and economics. This series creates an opportunity to step back, examine the evidence, and build the practical competence needed to make more informed decisions.

Outcomes
Knowledge for better decisions
Our everyday choices are rarely shaped by information alone. Without a clear understanding of these influences, it can be difficult to distinguish useful information from advice that may not serve our needs. Most importantly, the series does not tell people what they should choose — instead, it equips participants to ask better questions, evaluate evidence, understand options, and make decisions aligned with their unique values, budget, and priorities.
