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

Funding boost worth $100,000 has recently materialized in form of new marmot-themed cryptocurrency

Scientists who turned to OnlyFans to help save long-running research into marmots have raised more than $100,000 after harnessing the support of another, very modern, funding avenue - cryptocurrency.

The 60-year project of continuous study of marmots - stout, ground-dwelling rodents that are the largest members of the squirrel family - across the US west was facing termination following science funding cuts imposed by Donald Trump's administration.
