Rather than disturbing the nest, officers decided let nature take its course. Latest update we have is that two of the eggs have successfully hatched. The department said, Mama bird has been doing an incredible job taking care of our little ones, giving them warm fed and safe inside their very unique nest at our new public safety facility. Our officers and staff have been carefully watching them from respectful distance as this feathered family continues to grow. Good luck to the birds. All right, Scientists are getting it done. We've had a lot of really good science stories lately. Researchers say a new experimental pill may represent one of the most significant advances in pancreatic cancer treatments in decades. The drug, Now, I'll spell this out in case, for some reason this story affects you or someone in your family. The drug is called I want to even attempt to pronounce it.

1:33 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer lives substantially longer than those receiving standard chemotherapy. According to results presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, more than fifty two thousand people will likely die from the disease this year. The overall five year survival rate remains just thirteen percent. The study involved five hundred patients whose metastatic pran careatic cancer that stopped responding to previous treatments. Patients taking the drug of the meeting of thirteen point two months compared with six point seven months for those receiving chemotherapy. Doctor Zev Weinberg of UCLA said, while not curing the cancer, it is a very large step forward. Researchers are now studying where the drug cat help patients earlier in the disease process.

2:16 I hope they figure that out. That would be fantastic. Researchers at MIT have found a way to better understand what people like. The discovery can help make AI recommendations and public services work better for everyone. MIT researchers discovered when it comes to understanding what people really want, three choices maybe better than two choices. The MIT crew found that asking people to rank three options instead of simply choosing between two, can reveal much richer information about human preferences. For decades, most systems have been like would you rather watch MOVIEA or movie B? But the MIT team found that misses important connections between people's interests and preferences. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, woman got a surprise when she went to check on a property. She's a real estate agent. She spotted what she thought was a large bull standing near a head of cattle.

Now, local residents aren't sure where this antelope came from. Some think it may have wandered away from a nearby game park. Are you enjoying World Cup soccer? Well? The Massachusetts Port Authority brooke the gidness world record by creating a soccer ball measuring forty seven point nine feet in diameter. The soccer ball is installed in Pierce Park in East Boston. It breaks the previous record held by Cutter. That soccer ball was thirty nine point nine to eight feet. Kind of fun. I've been enjoying the World Cup. I hope you have two in those your five good news stories for today. I have a good one.
