假新闻和后真相声明越来越普遍，不幸的是，它们也逐渐被应用于包括医学在内的科学领域。这篇社论简要回顾了这一令人讨厌的趋势，并强调了最近对人类早期发展中虚假事实的揭露。科学可以说是后现代时期最后一个具有重要威望的元叙事。作为科学家，我们必须努力确保我们的工作是透明的，并尽可能达到最高标准，以继续维护科学的诚信和正直。
Fake news and post-truth pronouncements are increasingly common, and are unfortunately also progressively being applied to the sciences, including the medical sciences. This editorial briefly reviews this unsavoury trend and highlights recent debunking of fake truths in early human development. Science is arguably the last metanarrative with any significant cachet in the postmodern period. We, as scientists, must strive to ensure that our work is transparent and of the highest possible standard so as to continue to uphold science's integrity and probity.
