    I have enjoyed listening to several episodes of the podcast over the past month. I like how they are organized and presented. Not only am I learning from these experts’ recent research, but I also I get to hear directly from the authors themselves about what they found insightful and why they performed their research. I can’t think of another place where a general practitioner like myself would have this opportunity.

    This is a GREAT show for people working in the veterinary field (or interested in it) to learn about the great research being done around the world for dogs, cats, horses, and all animals. There is a fantastic focus on one health impacts, and how vet med can learn (and help) human medicine.

    The podcast is well organized, with a nice interview style and great co-hosts; I highly recommend listening!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Buzz We're Missing: Why Veterinarians Feel Unprepared for Honey Bee Medicine
Q: Melinda, the antibiotic prescription requirement created a regulatory hook for veterinarians to enter bee medicine. Was that the real driver here, or is the opportunity bigger than just antibiotics?
Antibiotics were a driver to improve oversight, but the real opportunity is broader—veterinarians can apply their core expertise in biosecurity, nutrition, disease management, and welfare to honeybees, expanding the role of veterinary professionals in this livestock species.
What Journal Editors Actually Look For: A Veterinarian's Guide to Getting Published
Q: Can you introduce yourself to listeners who may not know you?
I'm Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn, a veterinary surgeon with long-standing involvement in Javma and AJVR, who transitioned into an associate editor role and has been shaping how manuscripts are reviewed and published.
Skipping the Scope: Long-Term Results of HTO for Canine Cruciate Disease
Q: What are the practical takeaways for surgeons considering a meniscal-sparing approach?
Surgeons should weigh the cost and risk of additional procedures against the potential lack of long-term benefit from exploring the joint; not all lesions are clinically significant, and a tailored approach may be appropriate.
Skipping the Scope: Long-Term Results of HTO for Canine Cruciate Disease
Q: How does your study address the limitations of previous research that relied on subjective outcomes?
We used validated owner-reported measures (LOAD and COI) to provide standardized outcomes and reduce reliance on clinician judgment, improving comparability across studies.
Skipping the Scope: Long-Term Results of HTO for Canine Cruciate Disease
Q: What motivated you to look at a meniscal-sparing approach during stifle surgery for cranial cruciate disease?
Clinical experience suggested that many dogs do well after HTO even when the meniscus is not aggressively treated, prompting the question of whether routine exploration adds meaningful benefit beyond subjective impressions.
