It's Decision 2020 time! Sarah and Chris both care a lot about politics (shock, we know). We're going to start periodically checking in on our thoughts and feelings about things between now and the next major election. We'll come up with some catchy music at some point.

Sarah's state is in political meltdown and it's confusing and generally very upsetting. We discuss the the rollercoaster of a few weeks that have been happening in VA and see if we can pick some worthwhile lessons out of the dumpster fire.

Chris just had a great weekend in Atlanta doing professional development activities. Yes, we are nerds and this qualifies as a hootinany for us. Join us!

We're back! Wait until you hear why we were gone! Sarah is a new aunt, and Chris is a married man! Come here how it all went down this week!

You have heard from many of Chris's science friends and now it's Sarah's turn. Sarah's friend Alisha joins the podcast to share a little bit about her sometimes silly, but always brave (and a little crazy) journey through science. We are proud to call Alisha an official Wino (even if she is only drinking sparkling water right now). We can't wait to have you on that Wine with Friends on the Bay episode, future Dr. Sutton!

Have you ever wanted to start your own business? Be your own boss? Well, wino Amy Avery did it. You may remember Amy from previous Wine with Friends episodes (see IronAmy parts 1 and 2). She has started her own businesses, become CEO of her own life. Chris and Amy sat down over the holiday break to talk about how it is going, and to understand a bit why she decided to make sure a radical life change.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Holiday traditions are a core part of our lives. We've even started developing some of our own!

Sarah has a degree in leadership, and Chris has opinions. We talked about what the difference between leadership and mentorship are, and the lessons we've taken away from our good and bad bosses along the way.

I (Chris) have been reading a lot about social media. Both how it's being used for good (and evil), and what choices we made along the way to get here. I filled Sarah in on a lot of what I've learned, and we had a long conversation about whether social media is broken, or whether we are.
