  Rezumat:  It is common to hear school teachers complain regarding teaching about microorganisms. Their students often say, I cannot see them! This is a challenge in teaching about the invisible microbial world. And then you are fortunate enough to visit a place like Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA) where the vibrant pink and green colors of its bays captivate people from all over the world even as they fly into the nearby airport, viewing the nearby salt ponds and lake bays. These visitors may then be lucky enough to smell microbial byproducts known as Lake Stink Great Salt Lake Institute (GSLI) at Westminster College strives to connect people to our important salty neighbor through research and education, and halophilic microorganisms, “halophiles,” are the foundation of our programs. This presentation will underscore the value of halophiles in educational settings and dispel the myth that it is hard to understand them. At GSLI, halophiles have been a featured component of undergraduate research, K-12 curriculum development for classrooms, arts integration with science, and field-work. These valuable research models, when placed in the context of their environment, become charismatic microfauna, engaging students, researchers and the broader community. You could say we are giving our community culture!

Keywords: community engagement, halophiles, science education.
