John Webb is currently coordinating the development of an online biomimicry design portal for the Biomimicry Institute.

The Biomimicry design portal is intended as a tool to cross-pollinate biological knowledge across discipline boundaries. It will be a place where designers, architects, and engineers can search biological information, find experts, and collaborate, to find ideas that potentially solve their design/engineering challenges. It attempts to bridge the gaps of terminology and specialization that separate biologists, chemists, and other researchers from engineers and other developers in industry. It is an open-source tool, which makes it not only a knowledge source but also a collaboration forum for researchers in disparate fields.

John Webb has over ten years experience in Web development, communications, and project management. His experience involves managing Web sites for large organizations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National Center for Appropriate Technology. He has extensive experience with incorporating the latest Web content management solutions, designing and developing usable, accessible Web interfaces, and successfully marketing and promoting Web sites.

John is also a board member for Garden City Harvest in Missoula, Montana.
