We present the first dynamical model of plasma accretion onto traversable wormholes by performing general relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (GRMHD) simulations of the flow on both sides of the wormhole. We evolve the ideal MHD equations on a wormhole spacetime described by the spherically symmetric Simpson-Visser metric. The disk is initialized on one side of the wormhole and accretes onto the throat driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI).
