Now PlayingCan the Grey's Anatomy cast read medical jargon?
Okay TGIT fans, there's some good news and some bad news this evening. We'll go ahead and rip off the Band-Aid: Grey's Anatomy and the rest of the TGIT line-up are not airing tonight, Thursday, April 25.
Instead, ABC is hosting the NFL Draft, which is great news for sports fans. It's a little puzzling that the draft is being hosted on ABC, the only one of the big four without an NFL package throughout the regular season (though ABC's parent company also owns ESPN, so sports ball does run in the family). The broadcast will also feature a special appearance from Taylor Swift, who will be dropping another clue about her new music expected to release on Friday, April 26.
NFL Draft 2019 Latest News and Predictions
The good news is that Grey's and TGIT will return next week. In fact, Grey's and Station 19 will kick things off with a two-hour crossover special centering on trying to save Chief Ripley (Brett Tucker), who collapsed at the end of last week's Station 19. Grey's will also have to contend with Jo's (Camilla Luddington) continuing downward spiral. Meanwhile on For the People, Allison (Jasmin Savoy Brown) will get her first big episode of the season when she defends a man accused of selling fake cigarettes.
So just hang tight. One more week until your favorite shows are back!
Grey's Anatomy, Station 19, and For the People all return Thursday, May 2 beginning at 8/7c on ABC.

The Executive Committee (EC) is charged with administration of the Neuroscience GIDP. The EC comprises at least seven members of the Neuroscience GIDP faculty, including the chairperson,the PI of the training grant, and one graduate student majoring in Neuroscience. Members of the EC should broadly represent the research interests of the GIDP faculty. The chairperson of the Neuroscience GIDP chairs the EC. The chairperson is elected by the Executive Committee and appointed by the Dean of the Graduate College to a five-year term. The chairperson may stand for re-election.
With the exceptions noted below, EC faculty members are elected by the Neuroscience GIDP faculty and appointed by the Faculty Director of GIDPs to renewable three-year terms. The PI of the training grant is selected and appointed by the EC. The student representative is elected by the students of the Neuroscience GIDP and appointed to a one-year term by the EC. The faculty chairpersons of the GIDPs two main standing committees, the Graduate Student Admissions and Recruitment Committee (GSARC) and the Graduate Student Advisory and Progress Committee (GSAPC),may be elected members of the EC or other Neuroscience GIDP faculty; if they are not elected members, they will be appointed to EC membership for the period of their service as committee chairpersons throughout their tenure. A representative to GIDPAC will be a member of the Neuroscience EC and be determined by a majority vote of the Executive Committee. The term will be three years beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30.
In the event of the Program Chair taking a sabbatical or resigning, an interim chair will be elected by the EC and appointed by the faculty director of GIDPs. The interim chair will serve a term of no more than one year while the chair is on sabbatical, or while preparations are made for the selection of a new chair.
1. The Executive Committee:
a.develops and implements policies and procedures for the operation of the Program in Neuroscience and for associated teaching and research programs of the Neuroscience community;

Now PlayingSome of the Best Speeches from Grey's Anatomy
Jo's (Camilla Luddington) downward spiral only went deeper this week on Grey's Anatomy, and it is now putting her marriage to Alex (Justin Chambers) in jeopardy. To make matters worse, it looks like the damage is far from done.
Jo is still reeling after finding out a few episodes ago that she was conceived from a rape, and her inability to talk to anyone about it is starting to burn her entire life to the ground. First, she has been a non-stop vodka consuming drunkard since she returned from Pittsburgh. And she crossed the line in Thursday's episode, titled "Head Over High Heels," when she showed up to work drunk. Jackson (Jesse Williams) was the first to discover it and let her off with a warning, seeing that something was clearly very wrong, but he warned that if she ever returned to the hospital drunk, it could be her last time there. Remember, Jo only has a job at Grey Sloan as a research fellow, so if she gets fired it's going to be extremely difficult to find someone to fund her research if she gets to take it with her at all.
Discover your new favorite show: Watch This Now!
However, that's not where the spiral ended. Alex also called her out for drinking on the job, and when she still refused to talk to him, he threatened to fly to Pittsburgh himself to find out what the hell happened while she was there. Jo's response was to say that if he ever threatened her with that again, she'd leave him. He returned the barb by saying he'd report her to Bailey (Chandra Wilson) if she ever stepped into the hospital drunk again.
We've seen marriage stalemates on Grey's before and they very rarely ever work out well. In fact, Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) may have been the only couple to survive this kind of throwdown. While Alex understands dysfunctional relationships more than anyone, especially those with parents, there's no way for him to truly understand the pain and trauma that Jo is experiencing. At the same time, if Jo doesn't find someone she can confide in so she can start processing what her birth mother told her, her entire life is going to implode.
Alex has tried to give her space to work through this as she sees fit, but it's clear that Jo is only hurting herself and those around her at this point. If she's not going to open up on her own, what is it that Jo needs in order to get the help she requires? Coddling from friends hasn't softened her up and an intervention only sends her further into depression. If the question isn't answered soon, we can see Jo and Alex going the way of other iconic Grey's couples, like Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw), and April (Sarah Drew) and Jackson. We want so much better for them.
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8/7 on ABC.

The wordembryologycan be broken down into its parts in order to define the term. An embryo is the early form of a living thing after fertilization that occurs during the development process. The suffix "ology" means the study of something. Therefore, the term embryology means the study of the early forms of life before they are born.
Embryology is an important branch of biological studies since understanding the growth and development of a species can shed light on how it evolved and how various species are related. Embryology is considered to be a form of evidence for evolution and a way to link various species on the phylogenetic tree of life.
Perhaps the best known example of embryology supporting the idea of evolution of species is the work of a Post Darwin Evolution scientist named Ernst Haeckel. His infamous illustration of several vertebrate species ranging from humans, to chickens, to tortoises show how closely life is all related based on major developmental milestones of embryos. Since the time of his drawing's publication, however, it has come to light that some of his drawings of the different species were somewhat inaccurate in the stages those embryos actually go through during development. Some were still correct, though, and the similarities in development helped to springboard the field of Evo-Devo as a line of evidence to support the theory of evolution.
Embryology is still an important cornerstone of studying biological evolution and can be used to help determine similarities and differences between various species. Not only is it used as evidence for the theory of evolution and the radiation of species from a common ancestor, embryology can also be used to detect some types of diseases and disorders before birth. It is also used by scientists around the world working on stem cell research and fixing developmental disorders.

This is a combined major at the interface of biology and chemistry that partially overlaps the requirements for those two individual majors. It is particularly appropriate for those going on to graduate work and also provides a strong background for those entering medical, dental, and veterinary school.
