Marmots Go Viral to Fund Research | Los Angeles News

Scientists at UCLA are turning to an unexpected solution to keep their marmot research alive: they’ve launched “OnlyMarms,” an OnlyFans page featuring adorable, family-friendly videos of these furry critters in the wild. Fueled by tight funding and inspired by Professor Dan Blumstein’s passion for long-term fieldwork, the page showcases marmots squabbling, sunbathing, and even eyeing cameras — all while raising cash to sustain vital ecological studies. The quirky campaign has gone viral, surprising researchers with global support and proving that sometimes, science needs a little internet flair to survive.
