Johnni Macke 1:00 pm on August 1, 2017 (Photo Courtesy: ABC/Ron Tom) Starting last month, its been all Greys Anatomy, all the time, due to the fact that season 14 is officially underway (not that were complaining!). Now, weve discovered that one of our favorite Greys actors will not only be on screen this season, but also will be stepping behind the camera. On Monday (July 31), after spending a few days exploring the beauty that Seattle has to offer and throwing the first pitch at a Seattle Mariners game with his fellow co-stars Kevin McKiddturned his focus to his latest Greys role: directing an episode! Back at it @greysabc #directorprep, McKidd, who plays Dr. Owen Hunt on the ABC drama captioned a fun selfie of himself, his script, and a BIG cup of coffee. The Scottish actor has been a part of Greys Anatomy since 2008, when he first won over fans as Cristina Yangs love interest, and since then hes become a fan favorite. In addition to filling out the cast which includes Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers, Jesse Williams and more McKidd has been contributing to Greys from behind the scenes since 2011. Beginning in season 7 of … Continue reading →

Johnni Macke 3:00 pm on July 31, 2017 (ABC/Richard Cartwright) Greys Anatomyseason 14 is currently underway, and one key star is ready to start filming! On Monday (July 31), Sarah Drew, who plays Dr. April Kepner, announced that shes officially back for season 14 with a shout-out to her character and a boost of morning coffee. Took me a minute to realize the coffee was for me I guess the timing is right, since I step back into Aprils shoes today!! Were baaack!!! #GreysAnatomy #season14, Drew captioned her morning fuel. The last time we saw April, she was being surprisingly supportive of her ex-husband Dr. Jackson Averys (Jesse Williams) new flame (or the girl he is currently smitten with), Dr. Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary). After April tells Maggie that Jackson has feelings for her she points out that Maggie clearly likes him too. Because I have a feeling you like him, so why dont you just tell him? April says, causing Maggie to really think about what could happen between her and Jackson, and leaving fans a little baffled by a possible love triangle, or new romance that may, or may not, include April next season. The good news is … Continue reading →

Where exactly is the grave of Andreas Vesalius? This historical mystery, at the unlikely intersection of anatomy, archeology and cartography, could soon be solved. But not without a final crowdfunding effort. It's a mystery tinged with irony. Vesalius (1514-1564) popularised autopsies and (unwittingly) kicked off the centuries-long trend of 'resurrectionism': snatching bodies for dissection by medical students. Now it's his own grave that scientists are after, and their search involves a studious postmortem of the landscape where he was buried, with ancient maps as material evidence. The search started some time before 2014, the 500th anniversary of Vesalius's birth. To celebrate that event, medical artist Pascale Pollier set out to reconstruct the face of Vesalius, from his actual skull a fitting tribute to the father of modern anatomy. But where was that skull? The historical record showed that Vesalius died on the Greek island of Zakynthos. And that's where the trail went cold. 16th-century map of Zakynthos, transposed on a topographically accurate modern map. It's fair to say that few scientists have been as consequential for the development of modern science in particular medical science as Vesalius. So how could his last resting place have been neglected, forgotten and ultimately … Continue reading →

Eric Dane opened up Monday about his battle with depression, which caused him to take a hiatus earlier this year from his show The Last Ship. Id dealt with depression throughout my life, Dane, 44, who has publicly discussed his condition, said on NBCs Today. It was always manageable and I just felt like everybody kind of feels a little blue. But this just hit me like a truck. I had to take some time off I went away, I took care of it, and Im feeling great. Dane, who played Dr. Mark Sloan for six years on Greys Anatomy and stars as Capt. Tom Chandler on TNTs post-apocalyptic drama The Last Ship, explained he took time off from the show in April because I was dealing with some depression, which was kind of odd to me. I felt very conflicted about it because I didnt really feel like I had anything to be depressed about. And now I take a medication called Pristiq, which I thought just sounded like a good mood. And the depressions gone, he said, adding, Im doing OK. Pristiq, made by Pfizer, is a brand of the antidepressant desvenlafaxine, which balances levels of the brain … Continue reading →

Welcome to Anatomy of a Goal, where each week we dissect one goal (or near goal) from the previous weeks Columbus Crew SC match. For match 23 on the 2017 MLS Season, we take a look at Ola Kamaras 15th minute left-footed goal that put Crew SC up 1-0 as part of the 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Heres a look at the finish from the Columbus forward. After a disappointing, two red-card loss at the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night, the Black & Gold found themselves clawing to keep pace in a tight Eastern Conference playoff race. Rookie Connor Maloney earned his first start as a professional, slotting in at right wing back. Crew SCs opening goal begins off of a clearance by Salt Lake midfielder Kyle Beckerman. Beckermans half-touch only clears the ball about 15 yards up the field. Captain Wil Trapp and Maloney are both in position to win Beckermans weak clearance. Trapp takes possession of the ball as Maloney heads to a wide position on the right flank. With a defender on his right hip, Trapp drops the ball back to center-back Nicolai Naess. Getting his first start since the 1-0 win at … Continue reading →
