Also keep in mind that the NSF is now requiring an Education/Outreach section of every single grant application, and blogging can fit that. NIH has not followed suit yet, but they may in the future.

It is nice that they include education/outreach section. But is NSF doing something at a bigger scale like events and stuff?
When they devote a portion of every grant they fund to education and outreach, that will add up and involve more people than any one-time event. They also fund portions of NOVA and most of the other documentary series.
That's very good! This should be part of any proposal, as conservation of data and making them available to anyone.
