Please consider supporting this campaign! Enjoy cute #marmots from @rmblscience.bsky.social while helping sustain one of the world's longest-running field studies. Since 1962, it has transformed evolution and behavioral ecology and launched generations of researchers, including mine.

Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

I'm happy to share a new preprint from our lab by Nadine Schubert and colleagues characterizing banded mongoose MHC using NGS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi, new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm an evolutionary biologist, interested in MHC, disease ecology, sexual selection, and immune gene evolution🧬. I work on wildlife, mostly small mammals 🐀. I'm excited to be part of the science community here!
