Your PhD is hard enough without trying to figure everything out on your own.

There are some things about doing a PhD that people who aren't doing one just don't understand.

Spending hours on a paragraph and only making it worse. Leaving supervision fairly clear about what you're doing, then opening your thesis two days later and thinking, “Hang on. What am I actually trying to say?”

Or doing months of work, reaching the end of a stage and suddenly thinking, “Okay… what do I do next, and how do I actually do it?”

Momentum is a membership community for PhD researchers who want somewhere to figure those things out alongside people who get it.

You don't have to do this alone.

Inside Momentum, you'll find other serious PhD researchers navigating the same messy, confusing process as you.

There are live Q&As for the questions you've been sitting on, masterclasses to help you untangle difficult parts of your research, Let's Write sessions for getting actual words onto the page, and a community where you can talk honestly about what doing a PhD is really like.

Sometimes you need guidance.

Sometimes you need protected time to write.

Sometimes you just need to hear another intelligent, capable researcher say: “Oh God, yes. Me too.”

“Nothing prepared me for a whole new type of loneliness – intellectual loneliness. Feeling behind, feeling stupid, questioning every idea that passed through my head. Momentum has changed all of that for me – I feel connected to others, I know I'm not alone.”
— Hollie

“Being part of the Momentum community offers a respite from isolation, impactful ideas, and encouragement. Through Momentum, I realize that I am not alone, and my concerns and challenges are normal and understandable.”
— Deborah
