I tweet, you twit

By Iddo on May 6th, 2009

Sooo… NIH and NSF started Tweeting. Nice. A good way to keep up with grant programs, funding opportunities, yadda yadda. Here’s my @ tweet :

@NIH protein catalytic site evolution health implic: good for drug design. 
Young scientist, need $0.7M 2010-2013, 2xpostdocs+cluster+travel. 
Prev pubs: http://is.gd/vnPN; kthxbi
