      The project I worked on was EthicShare.org. It's a website focused on bioethics which pulls together materials and resources in bioethics and puts them in one place, as well as providing a place for collaboration on issues in bioethics. My job involved researching what materials to include on the site, working on marketing of the website, assisting in the design of the usability interface, compiling lists of bioethics materials based on topics, and crafting search strategies for pulling in bioethics materials.
