Congrats to Dr. Frank Black and students on their recent research publication! Check out the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Brine Shrimp are pretty tasty too. This is only a small fraction of the birds last night along the Antelope Island Causeway. #BirdsNeedWater

How about a living carpet of delicious Brine Flies?

Hard to believe but fall migration is underway for some shorebirds. Currently tens of thousands of mostly female Wilson's Phalaropes are beginning to stage at #GreatSaltLake, with males and juveniles a few weeks behind. They all need to eat, so what's on the menu?

Big step in the right direction. Please do what you can support the enactment of this much needed legislation! #BirdsNeedWater

EPIC! Can you spot the Peregrine snatching a Wilson's Phalarope? The phalarope numbers and giant murmurations at #GreatSaltLake this weekend were simply breathtaking. #BirdsNeedWater

The Great Salt Lake is both classroom and field lab for Westminster student researchers. Thanks to the @NASA Space Grant program, we can provide opportunities for our students to get excited about science and move into STEM careers. bit.ly/2WHeJ7B

GSLI Director Dr. Bonnie Baxter helped author a recent publication in the Society for Applied Microbiology: “Visualizing the invisible: class excursions to ignite children’s enthusiasm for microbes.” Check out the article here: sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Great Salt Lake truly is otherworldly! The NASA Space Grant funds student research at Great Salt Lake (GSL) due to the lake’s similarity to the surface of Mars. To read more about the grant, the projects, and the students involved with them, visit westminstercollege.edu/about/news/new…

We have a celebrity in our midst: The Great Salt Lake was featured on the PBS Kids show Nature Cat! We loved the quote: “Even the most strange and seemingly empty places can be beautiful and support life.” Check out the clip here: youtu.be/xIIRnpwsxEU

Successful installation of "Love Motel for Insects!" Check out GSLI's Facebook page (bit.ly/2O1s8kw) to see more photos from Family Bug Night yesterday evening and find out where and when other events are happening.

We have extra Westminster Thinks Big tickets! If you need a ticket comment here.

Tonight our very own Jaimi Butler explores the question: Can polar bears save Great Salt Lake? #GSLInstitute #westminsterslc
