Scientists Fund Marmot Research Through OnlyFans and Cryptocurrency

18 Ağustos 2026The Guardian
  • Scientists researching marmots have recently received a significant funding boost of $100,000 through a new marmot-themed cryptocurrency. This funding comes after they turned to OnlyFans to support their long-running research project, which was at risk due to funding cuts from the previous administration.
  • The project has been ongoing for 60 years, focusing on the study of these unique rodents across the western United States.
  • The marmot research project has faced significant challenges due to cuts in federal science funding, particularly during the Trump administration. As traditional funding sources dwindle, researchers are increasingly seeking out creative solutions to sustain their work, reflecting a broader trend in academia.
  • This innovative approach to funding scientific research highlights the growing intersection of technology and traditional fields. The use of platforms like OnlyFans and cryptocurrency not only provides financial support but also engages a broader audience in scientific endeavors.
