Online presence

The Institute gained a substantial online following starting in November 2019, when they uploaded their first video to TikTok.[3] A 2019 video, with 1.6 million likes, clarified the location of the human stomach, while a 2021 video illustrating the bodily changes caused by pregnancy accumulated over 8 million views.[4] By November 2020, the account had 6 million followers.[5]
