Sparking ‘The Conversation’ in July

We’ve had a successful writing month with five articles published by our University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) researchers and academics in The Conversation.

From the structural integrity of bridges and emotional hypersensitivity, to the manosphere and what’s lighting up the skies – they’ve been educating and entertaining readers worldwide.

Their expert commentary is backed by news, research and analysis, and is sure to give you something to think (and talk) about.

• Dr Andy Nguygen l Ageing bridges around the world are at risk of collapse. But there’s a simple way to safeguard them.
• Dr Victoria Barclay-Timmis l What is rejection sensitive dysphoria in ADHD? And how can you manage it?
• Associate Professor Ciprian Radavoi, Dr Carol Quadrelli and Professor Pauline Collins l ‘The customer is always right’: why some uni teachers give higher grades than students deserve.
• Dr Kate Cantrell l Don’t blame toxic masculinity for online misogyny – the manosphere is hurting men too.
• Professor Jonti Horner l Everyone’s talking about the Perseid meteor shower – but don’t bother trying to see it in Australia or NZ.
