虽然2019年底中国国家希望严肃查处科研领域的学术不端，2020年却有人欺上瞒下、玩忽职守，在2021年推出两条震撼学术界的论调：

 

一是大家众目睽睽之下的图片造假铁证，被国际上学术不入流、在国内能玩江湖把戏的人，化解为“图片误用”。

 

二是不懂科学的小官僚有点芝麻大的权力就认为自己可以公然宣称科学实验不用重复。

 

如果这两条成为中国评判科研学术不端的标准，那么中国就再无科学研究不端的可能性，有不端也可以同样轻易化解。

 

2021年就有成为中国无科研造假元年的危险。这种危险，对中国、中国人民都是危害，只有利于把中国高尚的科学变成低级趣味江湖的小人。

 

有人假惺惺建议，学术批评只能在英文学术刊物进行，不能有中文文章。其实，这种人的多数（但非百分之百）是寄希望中国大多数人不读英文，只有英文批评就可以溜过去。

 

考验这些人的时间来了：七个国家、三十几个大学、逾百位科学家一而再地严重质疑同一篇文章，在中国，会得到严肃调查、严格处理吗？

 

答案，恐怕很不确定。

 

元年刚被宣布中国无造假，笑话又来了，虽然可能是黑色笑话。

 

2021年4月7日，美国、英国、澳大利亚、日本、加拿大、比利时、捷克等7个国家、三十几个大学、逾百位科学家（包括华裔科学家）发表文章，再次批驳中国科学院上海神经科学研究所杨辉研究员与2013年发表的《细胞》论文。

 

简而言之，2013年杨辉的论文普遍不能被重复。

 

科学界常常就算了，没有人纠结这种。

 

但是，可能是因为被浪费时间和资源太多而气不过，一些科学家义愤填膺联合执笔于2019年发表批评2013年论文。2021年杨辉发表对批评的反驳。2021年这些科学家再反驳。

 

活的太久了，没有见过七个国家、三十几个大学、超过百位科学家反复质疑同一篇文章。

 

这位杨辉，2020年4月在《细胞》还有一篇文章，被加州大学付向东教授质疑是偷付向东实验室的想法，而这篇文章最近也被哈佛大学、霍普金斯大学的著名美国教授怀疑，并有多位华人教授质疑可靠性（见：https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/AIdZ7k3dm8AlQZB0WFyi9A）。

 

但愿中国人的科研文章被“七个国家、三十几个大学、超过百位科学家反复质疑”只有这空前的一次，而绝后。
