Twitter has become quite the hotbed of chatter about functional programming over the past few months, as a substantial number of pretty well known FP people have either been present all along or have signed up recently and started following each other. Here is a list of people I know about who tweet about FP on a semi-regular basis, along with what I think are their main interest

A register of people involved in the development of science, technology, engineering and medicine in Australia, including references to their archival materials and bibliographic resources.
The Combined Membership List (CML) includes the names and addresses of all persons who were members of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), Mathematical Association of America (MAA), Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) - Société mathématique du Canada (SMC), or the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) as of the last update.
Statistics
Tales of Statisticians
Statistics too has its heroes, and it may humanize the subject to mention some of them here. Mathematical details have been avoided, and the history of philosophy has been largely evaded, but these sketches may at least help to suggest that statistical techniques emerged a step at a time, for real reasons, that real people invented them, and that once they were invented, real people sometimes further refined them, or continued to argue about their validity and implications.
