Debbie Allen

Debbie Allen is returning to Grey's Anatomy!

Allen, who portrays Jackson Avery's (Jesse Williams) mother Catherine on the ABC medical series, will be directing the third episode of the upcoming season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

The ninth season picks up two to three months after the Stranded Six Five (RIP Lexie!) were rescued after a plane crash. "You see the aftermath of what happened," executive producer Shonda Rhimes recently told us. "You're left with some questions as to how this happened and 'Why is this the way it is?' and 'Why is that the way it is?'"

Grey's Anatomy's Shonda Rhimes talks Season 9: Time jumps, new locations and new docs!

The second episode will jump back in time to answer those questions, while the Allen-directed episode will jump back to the present timeline, which will find some doctors outside of Seattle Grace with new jobs.

This is Allen's fifth time stepping behind the camera on Grey's Anatomy. There's no word on whether Catherine Avery, who was last seen having a fling with Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) will also appear in the episode.

Grey's Anatomy returns Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9/8c on ABC.

Our wonderful friend and cake curator extrodinaire, Miss Cakehead is putting on another extreme cake shop following the success of last years Eat Your Heart Out, the world’s first 18+ cake shop.  Because cakes shouldn’t just be nice and sweet.

This year the event will be held in St Bartholomew’s Pathology Museum in West Smithfield, London, with mission to educate people about Pathology while also selling some very unique anatomically correct baked goods. A series of pathology based lectures will also take place in the space, examining relevant conditions such as icing sugar spleen, nutmeg liver and maple syrup urine disease. How cool and gross is that!?

‘Eat Your Heart Out’ is currently on the lookout for the most creative bakers, cake artists & food artists around the UK to come up with some anatomically correct treats.

Miss Cakehead says, “If you have a steady hand and a strong stomach for making delicious yet gory cakes or horrifically anatomical sugary sculptures and treats then please get in touch!”

I met with the stunning Jordan Eagles back in July after he visited the International Museum of Surgical Science, one of the three venues for his upcoming series of shows, called Hemofields and Blood Work. It was one of the hottest days in Chicago, but Jordan was seemingly unfazed.  He keeps his studio between 92°F–100°F, the optimal temperature to work with his art medium—blood.

For someone who works with blood, Jordan is extremely upbeat, passionate, and almost spiritual in his approach to his work.  He speaks of his pieces in a range of  terms, from the boldness of energy to the subtleness of a whisper.  Of course, I don’t think his work needs many words, it’s more of an experience, one that you must have if you happen to be in or near any of the cities below!  The Street Anatomy crew will definitely be in attendance at the show in Chicago.

Original doodle for CAPSL

It’s been 2 years in the making, but our favorite pop anatomist, Jason Freeny has finally launched an awesome product called CAPSL.  What is a CAPSL you ask?  Apart from having one of those trendy vowelless names, CAPSL’s are collectable designer pill fobs with “pocket-sized personalities.” Hollow on the inside, they let you store whatever you can fit in them, whether it be paper clips, ground coffee, catnip, gum, or prescriptionnnn drugs.

Jason describes his CAPSL idea,

A little over two years ago I was tinkering around with ideas for illustrations. I had worked as a toy designer for a short stint and always enjoyed putting together the promotional schematics I would use to pitch the ideas to toy companies. I really wanted to create an illustration of a toy schematic but not to pitch, it was only for the purpose of “Art”. I came up with a cute toy idea as my subject and quickly started constructing the assets for the final piece…

Strange thing was, it was a pretty cool toy idea. So before I posted the illustration I pitched it to a toy company and they thought it was pretty cool too, and off to production it went!

CAPSL’s come in 12 designs with another 9 mystery designs out there.  Try your luck at CAPSLs.com! Can’t wait to get some myself!

Also, if you haven’t already, check out our Street Anatomy interview with Jason Freeny to get more insight into the man behind the toys.  Follow Jason on Facebook to get updates on the process of all his amazing projects.

The Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health

The New York Academy of Medicine Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health promotes the scholarly and public understanding of the history of medicine and public health and the history of the book. The Center is made up of the Library, Rare Book and Historical Collection and Gladys Brooks Conservation Laboratory.  The Center aims to develop connections between an interdisciplinary community of scholars, educators, clinicians, curatorial and conservation professionals, and public audiences.

The NYAM Library opened its collections to the general public in 1878, and remains the only independent research library in NYC offering access to medical and health information for members of the public. The Research Library has a collection that includes over 500,000 volumes, 275,000 portraits and illustrations and around 400,000 pamphlets.  The collection comprises primary and secondary materials in the history of medicine, public health, science and other health-related disciplines. The collection is supported by an extensive reference collection of medical bibliography, biography, biographical dictionaries, dictionaries and library catalogues, as well as books on the history of books and printing.

The Center’s Rare Book and Historical Collections include a rare book collection of approximately 35,000 volumes.  Books from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries are a particular strength, as are materials related to the history of medicine in the City of New York.

The Gladys Brooks Book and Paper Conservation Laboratory was established in 1982 for the express purpose of caring for the NYAM collections.  In addition to its preservation mandate, the Lab also plays an important role in the training of future generations of conservators through its internship and volunteer programs and offers professional educational opportunities through a robust calendar of workshops and lectures.
