‘OnlyMarms’: Marmots Are on OnlyFans to Raise Money for Research

Scientists from UCLA have turned to a rather unconventional platform to fund their research on marmots: OnlyFans. By posting videos of these squirrel-like rodents in their natural habitat, the team aims to raise money as government funding for wildlife research has been slashed. This creative fundraising approach not only seeks to bolster their scientific work but also sparks public interest in the plight of marmots and the broader issue of dwindling research funding. The initiative, dubbed ‘OnlyMarms,’ highlights the lengths to which researchers are going to support their projects in a time of budget cuts.
