## Caption

“My project aims to determine if microbialites can ever make a full recovery in the Great Salt Lake and exactly how that recovery process occurs. The experiment lasts a year and a half. I’m hoping that having such a long study period will allow us to see a trajectory towards the original healthy microbial community.” #HumansOfTheU
