Hubble new expansion rate inconclusive

Another recent attempt to measure the expansion rate of the universe as Hubble Constant does not provide a new value.

Attempt by Wendy Freedman to make a new measurement, or more accurate, by using Red Giants as the base to measure by had results released. It appears that their results fell between the values of earlier attempts by Planck team and the Riess team. The team did derive different values. This did not indicate that any new progress on the accuracy of expansion rate was substantiated to be much different than prior endeavors at this time. 

A sizable conference of 108 attendee has been called at Santa Barbara, California to examine why such a large difference between readings of different teams on the expansion rate (arxiv.org 1907.10625). Has there been some underestimation of how the early universe operated that has not been taken into account.

Ah, a budding critic. Careful, some disgruntled scientists may feel the need to make you walk the Planck. ;-) 100 wiggly strings.
