academictard

A person lacking critical thinking skills, who excels in academia because they believe everything they read.

This type of person is unaware that academic papers can be misleading, so they only read the abstract and conclusion (summary). They neglect to critically evaluate the methods and criticisms of an academic paper. These people are excellent at writing essays. They often go on to become science journalists, teachers, or youtubers, so they can inform the public of their revelations.
