Who's behind @gslinstitute ? ⠀⠀ "If Great Salt Lake Institute was the name of a band this would be the album cover. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ In reality this image represents an interdisciplinary trip to Great Salt Lake with @westminsterslc students, alumni and researchers. Although all were on the same trip, each person experienced the trip with their unique lense. The results are very different interpretations of the experience that were taken to the community. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Projects included wildlife research presented at scientific conferences, working with land managers on cleaning shorelines, research on women's representation in local research, published literary works, an art exhibit featured in a local gallery and even a dance performed at the local Fringe Festival. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ For more information about what these awesome women are doing go to @gslinstitute."⠀ ⠀ #ladiesofthelake #gslinstitute #westminsterslc #slc #utah #saltflats #salty #salt @bandofhorses #thegreatsaltlake #album #greatsaltlake #spiraljetty #robertsmithson #history #landscapeart #sciart #microbe #halophile @jgi #stem #science #outreach #educate #learn #wstem
This week we feature @gslinstitute, from the home town of team member Sabah Ul-Hasan! ⠀⠀ "PELI-can you help us? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster College (GSLI) strives to connect people to research and education about our weird and very important neighbor. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Not only is the lake important for the economy and public health of the state, but it is also a crucial stop for migratory species that rely on the lake for its resources. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Our students are currently studying charismatic American White Pelicans with motion-activated cameras that stay on the remote island throughout the year. The images show the pelicans feeding their young, stretching their wings, and even taking selfies. ⠀⠀ If you want to see more images like these and even help with research about the pelicans visit Zooniverse at https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/jaimibutler/pelicams and make sure to check out  @peliproject and @gslinstitute on instagram and facebook." ⠀ #saltlake #slc #utah #greatsaltlake #pelican #shore #shorebirdI#birds #putabirdonit #birdmemes #selfie #lake #salty #salt #birdcam #camera #film #news #westminster #stem #education #outreach #learn
Just in time for Spring! 🌸 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ "Catharanthus roseus, belongs to the family Apocynaceae. Commonly it is known as periwinkle, Madagascar periwinkle, rose periwinkle, or rosy periwinkle. ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ It yields two constituents - VINCRISTINE and VINBLASTINE. They are used to treat cancers specifically leukemia and Hodgkin's lymphoma. C. Roseus is found all around the world." - @zealspharmacytutorial #flower #madagascar #hodgkins #lymphoma #cancer #spring #plant #perwinkle #rose #pink #janellemonae #world #cosmopolitan #grow #green #color #sundayfunday #wstem #science #research
