Warning: Listening to Vet Candy’s Brain Smarts may result in spontaneous laughter, improved trivia skills, and a slight crush on hosts Clay and Caitlin Palmer.
It’s like a news show... if the news show had a sense of humor and a caffeine problem.
This week's guest is Aaryn DuBose.
Meet Aaryn DuBose, a beacon of inspiration and aspiration, whose journey through the corridors of veterinary medicine is not just about healing animals but also about breaking barriers and lighting the way for others to follow.
Currently enrolled at TUCVM (Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine), Aaryn holds multiple leadership roles with remarkable poise. Not only does he manage the core lab in the biomedical research department, but he also serves as the Class of 2027 president, the vice president-elect for SAVMA (Student American Veterinary Medical Association), and the vice president of the Veterinary Surgery Club.

Need a break from real life?
Tune in to Vet Candy’s Brain Smarts, where Clay and Caitlin Palmer teach you real science between ridiculous jokes and questionable impersonations.
You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll wonder how this show got approved.
Tonight’s guest is the definition of doing the most—in the best way possible.
Dasia Harris is a second-year veterinary student at NC State, a military reservist, an exotic animal enthusiast, and somehow also a full-time motivator on Instagram and TikTok. She’s breaking barriers, busting myths, and proving that there’s no single way to succeed in veterinary medicine.
Dasia doesn’t try to fit the mold.
She smashes it and then builds her own.

The Pet Health Challenges Study, conducted by the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) and Chewy Health, surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. dog and cat owners in February 2025. The results show that 97% consider their pet a family member, and 90% say their pets have improved their mental or physical health.
However, caring for pets isn’t always easy—74% of owners reported at least one major challenge. The biggest struggles included leaving pets alone, affording veterinary care, and managing behavior or health issues.
Pet owners with stronger human-animal bonds were also more likely to embrace technology. Those in the “strongest bond” group were twice as likely to use digital tools such as telehealth, mobile apps, or smart devices to manage care. Gen Z owners led the way, using an average of 3.6 pet health tools and showing strong interest in wearables, smart feeders, and virtual vet services.
The findings highlight a growing trend: as pets become more deeply integrated into families, technology is becoming an essential bridge for connection, convenience, and better care.

She’s opened a brewery. She’s worked in HR. She co-founded CodaPet, helping families with compassionate in-home euthanasia. But can Dr. Bethany Hsia survive the ultimate challenge—trivia questions about turkey sneezes, cancer-fighting cats, and flu-proof seals?
In this month’s episode of Brain Smarts with Vet Candy, hosts Caitlin and Clay Palmer put Dr. Hsia to the test in the only veterinary podcast where the science is real, the answers are ridiculous, and the scorekeeping is questionable at best.
From dramatic boy cats with weak hearts to a lightning round written entirely in limericks, Dr. Hsia proves she can handle just about anything. (Though let’s be honest—running a nationwide company might actually be easier.)
Presented by PRN Pharmacal, makers of Felycin (sirolimus delayed-release tablets).
🎧 Listen now and find out if Bethany makes it out officially “Brain Smart”… or just slightly traumatized.
