The NIH is on Twitter! Get funding and institute announcements by following nih_gov and NIHforFunding. I am amazed at all the announcements on there. The NIH dudes are totes hip. Funding in 140 characters or less is brilliant.
You can also follow their science education feed at NIHSciEd. There's a couple of great trainee and non-trainee funding announcements there.
You gonna tweet now, PhysioProf?
And, hey Marty Frank, when is the American Physiological Society gonna tweet? Can I run your tweets if I promise not to tweet the word "fuck"? Too often.

Okay, I will see what it takes. Maybe we can even teach "old dogs" new tricks!

"Old dogs" is old school. Who was it that used the term "geezertariat" on this blog last week?
I'm now following NIH - Thanks for the announcement!

I can see the future, where we circumvent grants.gov by Twitter grant submission. Your specific aims must each be 140 characters or fewer... write each section of your proposal as a separate webpage and link via a tinyurl...
