enthusi-ass

noun:

An enthusi-ass will speak condescendingly to researchers with more experience than them (In my own research I believe I have solved world hunger. Note: this is often said during the first few months of data collection).

An enthusi-ass will take pleasure in telling people how much work they've done today (in order to make others feel guilty for not doing so themselves).

An enthusi-ass will tweet about how they need to let their brains rest after having it blown, including the tag of the teacher (implying they have fully and completely understood complex subjects where others struggle).

A particularly enthusiastic enthusi-ass will claim to read 3 papers a day simply because "their project is transdisciplinary and all of it is so interesting".

An enthusi-ass will be incredibly excited about joining committees. Once on a committee they will make countless plans, all of which are in no way achievable.

An enthusi-ass excited to demonstrate their love for all science even when said science is utter crap. They will refuse to criticise research (other than when it conflicts with their own) because to criticise means to not love science.
