The Flagstaff Festival of Science is back for its annual fun in the mountains, and this year, we’re exploring the world of traditional food science!
Mark your calendars for September 19-28, 2025, and enjoy a 10-day, free adventure exploring the environmental, health, and cultural significance of food through the theme “Harvesting Knowledge.”
To kick things off, we are thrilled to welcome Mariah Gladstone, an expert in Indigenous food systems, as our featured keynote speaker. Gladstone, who is Piikuni (Blackfeet) and Tsalagi (Cherokee), holds a degree in Environmental Engineering from Columbia University and is a nationally recognized advocate for food sovereignty and sustainability.
Gladstone will deliver the W. L. Gore & Associates Keynote Presentation at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 19, at Northern Arizona University’s Audrey Auditorium. In her talk, “Indigenous Food Systems Science: Time-Tested Sustainability, Nutrition, and Ecology,” Gladstone will discuss centuries-old sustainability practices, nutrition and ecology.
