Chile’s regulatory rollback harms biosphere - Science | AAAS

Pasadena, CA—Biophysicist and microbiologist Mohamed “Moh” El-Naggar—who investigates how microbes exchange energy and electrons with their environments—will lead Carnegie Science’s Biosphere Sciences and Engineering division, which just completed a major milestone in its relocation to Southern California, where biologists are in the process of setting up new labs on the Caltech campus. This move represents the final stage of Carnegie’s long-planned consolidation of its biology division in Pasadena and evolution of its research partnership with Caltech. First announced in 2020 and finalized in 2023, the expanded alliance between Carnegie Science and Caltech was conceived to strengthen the two institutions’ historical collaborations in astronomy and the physical sciences, advance bold new directions in the life sciences, and burnish the greater Los Angeles area’s reputation as a hub for high-impact research.

The mod, made by a community member named Ekspym, became an instant hit among Tekken players, reaching more than 10,000 players as of October 17 and a recorded 4,547 downloads as of October 15. According to the mod’s readme, “the package contains neither the PS3 firmware nor the game,” though it acts essentially like an emulator. It sparked a viral conversation regarding the current state of Tekken 8 (with many players seeming to prefer Tekken 6 out of the two games), but perhaps more surprisingly, received massive pushback from players in Japan and Korea. One of the loudest voices speaking out against this mod was celebrated fighting game pro Dogura. “The pirated version of Tekken 6? That thing crosses the line way too much, and I'm horrified that no one overseas is raising negative voices about it,” he wrote in a post on Twitter/X. “When our fundamental values and sense of morality differ this much, we probably can't even have a conversation.
