Will Dasia Harris Win the Brain Smarts Challenge?
Need a break from real life, endless studying, or pretending you’re not exhausted?
Good news Brain Smarts is back, and this episode delivers chaos, comedy, and clever science in equal measure.
Hosted by Clay and Caitlin Palmer, Brain Smarts is where real science meets ridiculous jokes, questionable impersonations, and just enough educational value to keep things technically responsible. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. And you’ll probably ask yourself how this show keeps getting approved.
Meet This Week’s Guest: Dasia Harris
Tonight’s episode features Dasia Harris, a second-year veterinary student at NC State, a military reservist, an exotic animal enthusiast, and a powerful Instagram and TikTok motivator who’s inspiring future veterinarians across the country.
Dasia represents a new generation of veterinary professionals—ones who don’t wait for permission, don’t fit neatly into boxes, and don’t believe there’s only one “right” way to succeed in vet med. She’s breaking barriers, busting myths, and proving that you can build a career that reflects who you are, not who you’re expected to be.
The Brain Smarts Challenge: Will She Win?
Of course, this wouldn’t be Brain Smarts without a challenge.
Dasia steps into the Brain Smarts Challenge, where quick thinking, science knowledge, and the ability to survive Clay and Caitlin’s commentary are all put to the test. The competition gets intense, the banter gets louder, and by the end… well, you’ll have to watch to see if Dasia takes the crown.
Let’s just say—no one walks out of this challenge unchanged.
Real Science, Real Talk, Real Fun
Between laughs, the episode dives into real conversations about:
Navigating vet school while balancing multiple identities
Staying motivated in a demanding profession
Breaking the “one-size-fits-all” narrative in veterinary medicine
Why representation and authenticity matter now more than ever
It’s the kind of episode that reminds you why you wanted to be a veterinarian in the first place—and why you don’t have to lose yourself along the way.
