Get in the Game Sports Career Conference presented by First and Pen

SBRnet and First and Pen are excited to announce the Get in the Game sports career conference for students of color at HBCU’s and colleges and universities.

BALTIMORE, MD, USA, September 5, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — To introduce and connect diverse talent within the sports business, First and Pen and SBRnet are launching a sports business conference, Get in the Game.

The inaugural event will take place October 6th-8th, 2023 at the Sheraton Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD, and bring together students of color from HBCUs and surrounding institutions to introduce them to the various career pathways and experiences in the sports industry.
“Our goal is to educate students about the large number of career options that exist in sports and connect companies with talented young men and women of color who will help them forge future success across their businesses,” said First and Pen founder Yussuf Khan. “As an industry veteran, an entrepreneur, and educator, I understand the needs and goals of the industry, the opportunities it presents, and the talent, vision, and success that young people of color can bring when doors are opened.”

Get in the Game is a three-day conference and career expo that will directly connect students with industry leaders and recruiters, as well as provide insight, education, and direct interaction with business practices, strategies, and operations across the industry.
And Baltimore is the perfect city to host it.
“We’re excited to bring Get in The Game to Baltimore,” said Khan. “The area is home to four historic HBCUs and the city is driving distance from other universities and colleges.”

The event will feature a wide range of companies representing the retail, media, professional, and collegiate sports industries. Confirmed presenting sponsors include Dick’s Sporting Goods, On Running, ASICS, Clarks, Sodexo Live, The Advertising Council, The Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and Under Armour. The sponsors represent the wide spectrum of careers in the sports business: retail, hospitality, brands, marketing, and team sports.
“Our goal is to showcase the range of career options in sports that are open to students of color,” said Mark Sullivan, a managing partner of SBRnet, which provides data and other sports business resources to more than 260 colleges and universities.
Get in the Game will feature three main components:
• An educational conference where students will learn about the business and what companies are seeking in candidates.
• A career expo where students can meet directly with talent acquisition executives.
• A series of experiential field trips where students will travel to local sports businesses to learn first-hand how the sports industry operates.

New York Times (NYT) article highlighting the ‘crisis in cosmology’

American taxpayers would hate to find NASA’s $ 10 billion James Webb telescope triumphed over by Europe’s $ 1 billion Eulcid telescope.

INDORE, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA, September 4, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Today, an article appeared in New York Times (NYT), which highlighted the ‘crisis in cosmology’ unraveled by the James Webb Space telescope (JWST). One of JWST’s first major findings is very uncomfortable for astronomers: it discovered the existence of fully formed galaxies far earlier than should have been possible according to presently accepted, standard model of cosmology. Reacting to the NYT article, Mr. Subhajit Waugh, a scientist (physicist) working in RRCAT (Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology), said that the authors of the article have not realized that it could have been a much more newsworthy article (even though it was newsworthy enough to appear in NYT). Mr. Waugh asserted that the article is just the tip of the invisible iceberg. Not only cosmology is in crisis; physics faces severe crisis too (the two pillars of physics are bitterly conflicting), and the NYT article authors have failed to see the link. Consequently, the article simply presents a BIG problem, but offers no satisfactory solution.

James Webb telescope can absolutely revolutionize science (especially physics and cosmology) and usher the greatest ever paradigm shift in science. Mr. Subhajit asserted that two next generation telescopes (the European Euclid and Japanese XRISM X-Ray telescopes) are just about to do that. James Webb might still triumph over both telescopes; but time is running out fast.

Mr. Waugh warned that if American scientific communities do not seize the opportunity to turn science upside down by following JWST’s startling revelations, then Europe will win the race, and Europe will be the leader of another scientific revolution. Or else, Japan, the ‘land of the rising sun’, will soon become the ‘rising sun’ in Science.

The NYT article wrote: “Physicists and astronomers are starting to get the sense that something may be really wrong. It’s not just that some of us believe we might have to rethink the standard model of cosmology; we might also have to change the way we think about some of the most basic features of our universe – a conceptual revolution that would have implications far beyond the world of science.” Mr. Waugh wholeheartedly agrees with the above paragraph. He agrees enthusiastically with another paragraph as well “We may be at a point where we need a radical departure from the standard model, one that may even require us to change how we think of the elemental components of the universe, possibly even the nature of space and time.” Mr. Waugh could not hide his joy and excitement when another paragraph was mentioned “But a (scientific) revolution may end up being the best path to progress. That has certainly been the case in the past with scientific breakthroughs like Copernicus’s heliocentrism, Darwin’s theory of evolution and Einstein’s relativity. All three of those theories also ended up having enormous cultural influence – threatening our sense of our special place in the cosmos, challenging our intuition that we were fundamentally different than other animals, upending our faith in common sense ideas about the flow of time.”
But when asked to elaborate, he simply smiled and said “You cannot run the ‘Tokaido Shinkansen’ bullet train on tracks built for steam locomotives. Similarly, you cannot run modern science on a century-old concept of SpaceTime.” He added “SpaceTime is the arena in which everything happens. It is the very fabric of reality. If you get that concept wrong, you are hopelessly lost and directionless.”

Mr. Waugh summarized: Physics is derailed (Ref. 1) and cosmology is in crisis (Ref. 2). Our concept of SpaceTime is faulty (Ref. 3, 4) and our mathematics is shaky (Ref. 5, 6). We are wrong about shape and size of the universe (Ref. 7). A tsunami sized ‘scientific revolution’ is coming (Ref. 8, 9, 10).
