Brian Greene Tells LMU Graduates: Embrace Your Moment in the Cosmos with Curiosity and Gratitude

Published

on

By

LOS ANGELES, May 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brian Greene, a leading theoretical physicist and sought-after communicator of groundbreaking scientific concepts, urged those gathered Sunday for Loyola Marymount University’s graduate and LMU Loyola Law School commencement to appreciate their unique existence in the cosmos, embrace their potential, and approach life with gratitude.

Addressing a rapt crowd on LMU’s sun-filled Westchester campus, the best-selling author told graduates “we have each won the most improbable cosmic lottery.” See the press kit with images and Greene’s commencement video HERE.

“Think about how utterly unlikely it is that you exist,” Greene said. “Think about the nearly infinite collection of quantum processes stretching from The Big Bang until today … yet against those astounding odds – for a brief moment of time you exist, as do I.”

Drawing on discoveries from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan to Edwin Hubble, Greene traced for students and attendees the arc of scientific discovery allowing us to better understand our place in the universe, and the phenomenon of our capacity to live, comprehend, and connect with one another. Greene also noted the contributions of Jesuit-educated Catholic priest Georges Lemaître, who “used Einstein’s math to catch a glimpse of the possibility that space might be expanding,” an idea widely rejected at the time, only to be established a few years later.

“We can think about the past. We can imagine the future. We can take in the universe, mind and body, with reasoning and emotion allowing us to figure out astonishing things, like how stars shine and light travels, how black holes form and time elapses, allowing for creative achievements … all created by minds like yours, like mine, and that …most certainly will continue to create great beauty, to illuminate great mystery, to experience great wonder.”

 This phenomenon of human existence, Greene concluded, “should give us all a deep sense of connection. A kind of cosmic communion, and a sense that I can summarize with one word: gratitude.”

“Gratitude for being a small transient part of this wondrous unfolding, gratitude for our capacity to come together in groups that, at their best, allow us to each realize our potential, gratitude for our capacity for courage like that of George Lemaître, to stand up to authority, to not accept easy answers, and when necessary to fight for what we believe in. Gratitude that is for human existence, for fragile, delicate, difficult, challenging, painful, exhausting, beautiful, exquisite, transcendent, human existence, however brief, however evanescent, however fleeting.”

Greene is a lifelong learner committed to intellectual inquiry, educational access, and academic excellence. Described by The Washington Post as “the single best explainer of abstruse concepts in the world today,” he is the author of four acclaimed books that have collectively sold millions of copies worldwide. His latest best-selling release, “Until the End of Time,” which explores the cosmos and our quest to understand it, was named one of the “100 Notable Books of 2020” by The New York Times.

Greene’s books have been adapted into two Emmy and Peabody Award-winning NOVA miniseries, both of which he hosted. With journalist Tracy Day, he co-founded the World Science Festival, whose flagship events in New York and Australia have reached an audience of more than two million people, and more than 250 million people online. Greene has appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” played himself in an episode of “The Big Bang Theory,” and made cameo appearances in films including “Frequency,” “Maze,” and “The Last Mimzy.” A Harvard graduate and a Rhodes Scholar, he serves as director of Columbia University’s Center for Theoretical Physics.

Nearly 2,900 LMU undergraduate, graduate, and law students participated in weekend commencement celebrations, which began Saturday with Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson addressing the undergraduate commencement ceremony

1 in 3 Singapore Jobseekers Tricked by Scams, Reeracoen Survey Warns as Digital Hiring Surges

Published

By

New findings highlight growing urgency for digital hiring safeguards as trust in recruiters and job sites declines

SINGAPORE, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid one of Asia’s most digitally advanced labour markets, a new survey by Reeracoen Singapore, in collaboration with Rakuten Insight Global, reveals that 35% of jobseekers in Singapore encountered job scams in the past year, with over half of them targeted more than once.

This worrying trend comes amid a national surge in scams. According to the Singapore Police Force, scam cases rose by 46.8% in 2023, with job scams alone costing victims more than S$20 million. Despite Singapore’s strong governance and advanced recruitment platforms, digital fraud continues to outpace safeguards.

“As AI continues to evolve, it’s becoming harder to tell what’s real and what’s a scam — especially in digital hiring. This is no longer just a tech problem; it’s a human one,” said Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen Group. “The value of human involvement and verified interactions is becoming even more important. We must build hiring ecosystems where people feel safe and trust comes by default.”

Jobseekers Losing Faith in Trusted Platforms

The survey found that fraudsters are exploiting legitimate-looking platforms and impersonating recruiters to target tech-savvy candidates. Among the top job search channels are online job portals and company websites, but even these are being misused by bad actors. In response, 79% of jobseekers said they are highly concerned about scam risks and 40% reported declining trust in recruitment platforms and agencies due to scam exposure.

The most common red flags include requests for upfront fees or personal information and suspiciously high salaries paired with minimal job requirements.

“Even in Singapore’s trusted hiring environment, jobseekers are feeling the impact of impersonation scams,” said Shoichi Sunaga, Branch Manager, Reeracoen Singapore. “Verified listings, stronger employer branding, and human-led screening are no longer optional – they’re essential.”

Jobseekers Call for Platform Accountability

Respondents identified the following as top measures they want from job platforms and recruiters:

Stricter screening of job postingsVerified employer and recruiter accountsReal-time user reporting systems for suspicious adsCollaboration with government agencies for enforcement

Notably, only 1 in 5 respondents said they would pay for additional scam protection, reinforcing the expectation that safety should be a built-in standard, not a premium add-on.

Industry-Wide Call to Action

To address these concerns, the report offers strategic recommendations for employers, platforms, and regulators seeking to strengthen digital hiring integrity:

Deploy verification badge systems to deter impersonationImplement AI-powered screening tools to detect and block fraudulent job postingsEnhance collaboration with regulatory bodies like the Ministry of Manpower and Infocomm Media Development Authority on cross-platform enforcementRun public awareness campaigns to educate jobseekers on red flags and reporting mechanisms

Reeracoen advocates for industry collaboration and policy alignment to build a more resilient, transparent digital hiring ecosystem.
