The newest latest episode of The Midnight Archive--Ronni Thomas' fantastic documentary series centered around Brooklyn's Observatory--has just gone live! Entitled "Dealing in the Obscure," it features Morbid Anatomy Library Scholar in Residence, star of TV's "Oddities", and good friend/partner in crime Evan Michelson waxing poetic on the pleasures of time travel through material culture, why some people are drawn to darkness, and her own uncannily beautiful collection.

To watch the episode, simply press play in the viewer above. More on the episode, in the words of director/creator Ronni Thomas:

The Midnight Archive - Ep. 14 - Evan Michelson - It is a pleasure to have Evan Michelson, owner of the NYC epicenter of the odd 'Obscura Antiques' and star of Science Channel's "Oddities"' as a guest on our series. In what is certainly our most abstract and experimental episode, she quite eloquently puts into words why some of us are so drawn to certain objects, the dark, and the disturbing. Her house is, as she puts it, a literal library of the strange and esoteric. Each artifact houses a special story and emotion for its possessor. So enjoy a very psychedelic and surreal episode of the series and please make sure to like our facebook page for random tidbits of macabre history and events around the world! And be sure if in NYC or visiting to check our Obscura Antiques in the East Village - you will not be disappointed!

My friend Herbert Pfostl--who is also the curator of the outstanding New Museum Bookstore and author of the wonderful To Die No More--has a lovely looking exhibition with artist Jon Beacham. Entitled "Last Things and Other Forms," it will be on view until this Friday, July 27th, whence it will be ushered out by a closing party from 6:30 to 10. Looks to be a lovely show.

Eric Dane leaving 'Grey's Anatomy' during upcoming season

The doctors who will graduate from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific-Northwest will have an edge over their peers when it comes to understanding anatomy as it relates to their patients.

Because of a partnership between the radiology department at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital and the medical school, all donor-cadaver-patients are completely imaged before they are transferred to the anatomy lab.

This allows students a complete picture X-rays, MRIs, CT scans of the patients they are dissecting in class.

We teach anatomy in the most progressive way that a medical student could receive, said Brion Benninger, M.D., vice chair of the anatomy department for Western University of Health Sciences, COMP-Northwest.

Not every medical school has an anatomy lab, and those that do often use generic images, not ones directly from the donors being worked on, Benninger said.

This method of teaching anatomy is important because a family physician cannot dissect a patient to discover the illness, he said.

Instead, they use images.

Imagine if youre a student; youre assigned to table three, dissecting that particular body, Benninger explained. When you hit the chest, you say, Wow, look at that heart, its much bigger than I anticipated. These vessels dont look the way theyre supposed to classically be in the book.

Students may look at the imaging from that body and see firsthand what that heart looked like on an X-ray or other image.

That sort of imagery, you never forget it. Never, Benninger said.

Learning anatomy, from the inside out

Greys Anatomy star Eric Dane is hanging up his scrubs.

After six years aboard the hit ABC medical drama, CNN's confirmed that the actor will not be back for the shows ninth season will be leaving the show.

Series creator Shonda Rhimes told TVLine in a statement, [We] did not come to this decision lightly, but after much consideration and conversations, he and I have decided that this is the right time for his storyline to end."

Dane, who played Dr. Mark Sloan, thanked Rhimes and the cast of "Grey's" for the memories in a statement of his own. "I am extremely grateful to everyone at 'Grey's,' ABC and Shondaland for the experience," Dane told TVLine. "It has been wonderful to work alongside and learn from a creative force such as Shonda Rhimes."

Danes leaving is just the latest high-profile departure from "Grey's": The actor's fellow cast members Kim Raver and Chyler Leigh also exited the series after its eighth season finale in May.

"Grey's Anatomy" returns on September 27.

Eric Dane departs 'Grey's Anatomy'

Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes has revealed that Eric Dane's McSteamy a.k.a. plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Sloan is checking out of the show.

Leaving

"We're a big family here at Grey's with a long history together and Eric will always remain part of our family," she said in a statement. "I wish him the best and I look forward to watching him as he continues to steam up the big and small screen."

Indeed, it was Eric's decision to leave the show after six years to pursue other opportunities.

How will McSteamy exit the show after making such a memorable entrance (um, he came out of the shower with just a strategically placed towel!)? Shonda did not spill the beans on the details but an insider dished that Eric will return for several episodes of the upcoming Season Nine to get a proper send-off.

For those keeping count, Eric is the latest to leave the show in the wake of the Season Eight cliffhanger finale. Chyler Leigh, who plays Dr. Lexie Grey and Kim Raver, who portrays Dr. Teddy Altman, will also not be returning to the show. The rest of the cast however are coming back for two more years.
