Recently I co-authored a paper that reacted to earlier work claiming that the standard alpha of p<0.05 should be reduced to p<0.005. As our paper, entitled “Justify your alpha” was written by a bunch of smart peaople via Giigle Docs, I was approached to write a blog post for the Leiden Psychology Blog, on how this comes about. It was fun to do, and it also lead to a radio interview on how scientists communicate as collaborators and as competitors! My first radio interview! Fortunately it was not live 😉
