Scientists who turned to OnlyFans to fund marmot research receive crypto boost

Scientists who previously turned to OnlyFans to fund their long-running marmot research project have now received a significant boost from a marmot-themed cryptocurrency. The 60-year continuous study of marmots, large ground-dwelling rodents, across the US west was facing termination due to science funding cuts imposed by the Donald Trump administration. The new cryptocurrency has provided over $100,000 in funding, ensuring the continuation of this critical and long-standing research. This unique funding approach highlights innovative ways researchers are securing support amidst traditional funding challenges, showcasing a blend of modern digital platforms and scientific endeavor.
