Stuff they cover:A summary of the paper and how they decided on 0.005.
Whether raising the threshold the best way to improve reproducibility?Is 0.005 too stringent?
Would this new threshold unfairly favour “super” labs?If we keep shifting the number does any threshold really matter?

What would a 0.005 threshold practically mean for researchers?Links
