Science Stimulus Spam - Yuck

Just got this email from Sequenom

"NIH Challenge Grants

As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the NIH invites Challenge Grant (RC1) applications from domestic institutions/organizations proposing research on Challenge Topics that address specific scientific and health research challenges in biomedical and behaviorial research that will benefit from significant two-year jumpstart funds.

Challenge Areas, defined by the NIH, focus on specific knowlege gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways. The research in these areas should have a high impact in biomedical, behavioral science and/or public health.

We are here for you!"

Sequenom self promotional text here deleted to not aid them in distribution.
I mean, Sequenom might do some cool things but yuck. SSS. Science stimulus spam.
