Life After Dead Pool
After decades of drought, the American West is stretched to the breaking point. A changing climate and design flaws in the Glen Canyon Dam have pushed the once-massive Lake Powell reservoir to the brink of collapse—putting at risk millions of people who depend on the Colorado River for water, agriculture, and electricity. Now, as Glen Canyon reemerges, its surprising ecological rebirth reminds us that nature’s capacity to heal may well outpace our own imaginations.
Environmental journalist Zak Podmore explores the complex challenges ahead and reframes the inevitable loss of Lake Powell as a turning point for a more sustainable future. Through an arresting mix of science and storytelling, Life After Dead Pool debunks the notion that the West’s water challenges are unsolvable and invites us to secure a future where the Colorado River once again runs free.

Lee E. Teitelbaum Utah Law Review Symposium - Fireproofing the FDA: Power, Politics, and Public Health
This symposium will explore a revitalization of the FDA’s original missions—public health and consumer protection—by probing the intersection of politics, public health, and power at the organization. The FDA is currently facing political interference as well as cuts to its staff and budget that could compromise its ability to appropriately vet medical products. At the same time, FDA experts have observed that the agency needs significant reform to meet U.S. needs in the 21st century.
This convening will emphasize the “how”: the methods and approaches to strengthen medical product vetting while defending the FDA from interference. These goals bear some tension—and yet law and policy are well familiar with managing competing goals. Lessons for how the FDA can be “fireproofed,” drawing from FDA history, administrative law, political science, or other regulatory agencies, are encouraged. At the same time, changes to the way FDA operates may be needed to optimize the review of medical products on behalf o…

Ray Olpin Student Union Ballroom, Dr. Chung’s talk, “Thinking Hard, Believing Strong: How Politics Shapes Our View of Science,” Looks at a fascinating question: why do thoughtful people sometimes ignore clear evidence, especially when it clashes with their political beliefs?
