To watch the #solareclipse we drove 3 h to Molezuelas de la Carballeda (47 inhabitants according to census) in #Zamora Seeing the progress through a cardboard pinhole telescope was great. The sudden drop in light and #temperature #ThermoTRPs was magical

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.
‘OnlyMarms’: Marmots Are on OnlyFans to Raise Money for Research (Gift Article)
A team of scientists uploaded videos of the squirrel-like rodents in the wild on the adult-content site OnlyFans to raise money amid government budget cuts.
