We Are Scientists are legends in the scene, a band which have carried the banner for indie since 2000. Their music has an ethereal quality to it, and an atmospheric feel. Their latest record, Qualifying Miles, takes this pull to new heights.
There is subtlety here within the album, delivering a great mix of sadness and shuddering anticipation, helping to show the band's diversity. They are an intelligent outfit, putting in lyrics that tell tales of modern strife and dirty decadence.
'A Prelude To What' begins the record, mixing in styles of indie and rock. The band sings in unison, as their anxieties teeter on the line while Truth burns through.
'The Big One' starts with smoky vocals and a brilliant, percussive balance. Then, the electric guitar and bass come in to create a loud, unapologetic sound, making for a very engrossing track.
'The Same Mistake' offers many musical aspects here, including a solid backbeat, and brilliant lyrics. The band again is hurting and craving for assurance and love.
Overall, We Are Scientists has designed an album that shows their best side, and while they walk sad and stricken, they know they have conquered with the music.

AI chatbots ‘highly vulnerable' to repeating false medical information, experts warn
AI chatbots are frequently prone to repeating false and misleading medical information, according to new research. Experts have warned of a 'critical need' for stronger safeguards before the bots can be used in healthcare, adding models not only repeated untrue claims but also 'confidently' expanded on them to create explanations for non-existent medical conditions. The team from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine created fictional patient scenarios, each containing one fabricated medical terms such as a made-up disease, symptom, or test, and submitted them to leading large language models. In a study published in journal Communications Medicine, they said that the chatbots 'routinely' expanded on the fake medical detail, giving a 'detailed, decisive response based entirely on fiction'. But their research also found that by adding one small prompt reminding the model the information provided might be inaccurate, errors could be reduced 'significantly'. 'Our goal was to see whether a chatbot would run with false information if it was slipped into a medical question, and the answer is yes,' said co-corresponding senior author Eyal Klang, MD, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. 'Even a single made-up term could trigger a detailed, decisive response based entirely on fiction. 'But we also found that the simple, well-timed safety reminder built into the prompt made an important difference, cutting those errors nearly in half. That tells us these tools can be made safer, but only if we take prompt design and built-in safeguards seriously.' Co-author Dr Girish Nadkarni said the solution wasn't to 'abandon AI in medicine' but to 'ensure human oversight remains central'. The team hope their work can help introduce a simple 'fake-term' method for tech developers to use in testing medical AI systems. 'Our study shines a light on a blind spot in how current AI tools handle misinformation, especially in health care,' he said. 'It underscores a critical vulnerability in how today's AI systems deal with misinformation in health settings. 'A single misleading phrase can prompt a confident yet entirely wrong answer. The solution isn't to abandon AI in medicine, but to engineer tools that can spot dubious input, respond with caution, and ensure human oversight remains central. We're not there yet, but with deliberate safety measures, it's an achievable goal.' It comes after research last year showed many popular AI chatbots, including ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, lack adequate safeguards to prevent the creation of health disinformation when prompted. They found several large language models consistently created blog posts on false information, including the claim suncream causes skin cancer, when asked.

Ailing bull moose on Adirondack mountain hiking trail in New York put down
A bull moose whose lingering presence around an Adirondack mountain hiking trail this summer forced its closure was euthanized after showing signs of severely deteriorating health, environmental officials said Thursday. The Goodman Mountain trail in the Horseshoe Lake Wild Forest had been temporarily closed since June 6 after the oddly behaving moose began staying on or around the trail near the summit. The moose, about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall at the shoulder, was first spotted by the trail in May and efforts coax it away were unsuccessful. Wildlife biologists and a state veterinarian who visited the trail near Tupper Lake, New York, on Wednesday saw that the moose was severely emaciated and showed other signs of advanced disease. They determined euthanasia to be the most humane course of action, given the animal's condition and low likelihood of survival, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation. "While we never take such actions lightly, humane euthanasia is sometimes the most responsible course of action. In addition, information gathered from this animal will help DEC better understand and manage moose in New York,' Jacqueline Lendrum, director of the agency's Division of Fish and Wildlife, said in a prepared statement. Researchers have estimated that the moose was about 4 years old. Dr. Jennifer Bloodgood of the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine said a necropsy will be performed to help authorities understand the cause of the moose's decline and to provide more information on threats to the large mammals in New York state. The state's moose population was wiped out in the 1800s but has gradually grown from animals that wandered in from other northern states and Canada starting around 1980. There might be roughly 700 moose in the Adirondack region.

ESPN analyst accuses Travis Kelce of lying about his response to February's crushing Super Bowl loss
ESPN radio host Freddie Coleman has accused Chiefs star Travis Kelce of lying about his reaction to February's brutal Super Bowl defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City's championship loss saw the denial of a historic three-peat with Kelce and his squad outclassed for the entire contest. Kelce was somber about the defeat in the moments after but appeared to turn a new leaf during Chiefs' training camp. The 35-year-old leaving that defeat in the past appeared fishy for Coleman, who outright does not believe the words coming out of the future Hall of Famer's mouth. 'I really don't believe him, that he just threw that in the trash that quickly because its one thing to go for a three-peat and you don't get it,' Coleman said. 'But then to have the stones beaten out of you like that by the Philadelphia Eagles, he can that say he processed that in the trash compactor all he wants. He still smells it a little bit in the trash compactor when you get beat like that.' 'I believe what he's saying in terms of you gotta flush that and move past it because you can't do anything about it. But to say that he's forgotten about it or doesn't think that much about it. I don't know if I'm buying that from the artist formerly known as Travis Kelce, the Chiefs tight end.' Coleman stated Kelce's comments about the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles were not factual Coleman has been with ESPN since 2004, lending his voice to sports radio for the last two decades on the company's airwaves. Kelce's original comments come after a more low-key offseason where instead of traveling the world to follow girlfriend Taylor Swift on her 'Eras Tour', and pick up plenty of media opportunities, such as being the host of Prime Video's 'Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?', he focused on his own health primarily. Eyewitnesses, including Kansas City coach Andy Reid, believe Kelce is coming into the 2025 season in phenomenal shape, when he may have been resting on his laurels more than anticipated last season. Kelce, by many metrics, did not have a bad 2024, as he was still one of the best tight ends in the NFL. He just did not continue the form he showed to place him among the best to ever play the position. Even if Kelce is primed to have a dominant year, Coleman still does not believe he removed the chip on his shoulder from that Super Bowl loss in New Orleans.
