It's not often that a debate about statistical methods sets social media alight, but that's what happened in July, when a group of 72 statisticians and academics from fields including medical research, economics, and psychology made a bold suggestion: in a preprint of an article to be published in Nature Human Behaviour they argued that the threshold for p value significance for new discoveries should be changed from 0·05 to 0·005. The proposal sparked a lively discussion and soon the hashtag #pvalue was trending on Twitter.

关于统计方法的辩论通常不会引起社交媒体的关注，但这是在七月发生的，当时来自医学研究，经济学和心理学等领域的72位统计学家和学者提出了一个大胆的建议：在一篇文章的预印本中在《自然人类行为》上发表的论文中，他们认为新发现的p值显着性阈值应从0·05更改为0·005。该提案引发了热烈的讨论，并且#pvalue标签很快在Twitter上流行起来。
