🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where ideas evolve, papers grow, and academics breathe between deadlines. 🌿

Today, we open the doors to a story every Early Career Researcher will feel deep down in the pulse of their inbox. 📩 Imagine this — an email ping for yet another round of revisions... and you, halfway through a medical procedure, still typing “Thank you for your feedback.”

This episode dives into “Under pressure: Becoming the good enough academic” — a powerful reflection by Milena Tekeste, published in Organization — a prestigious Scopus Q1 journal by SAGE Publications, released on October 22, 2025.

Tekeste invites us into a quiet, brave space — one where being “good enough” challenges academia’s obsession with perfection. She writes not just with intellect but with pulse — tracing exhaustion, identity, and the strange pride of working through pain. 💭

What does it truly mean to be a good academic… when being human already feels like the hardest part of the job? 🤔

Thanks to Milena Tekeste and SAGE Publications for this candid, courageous work.
