by David Brooks | Jan 19, 2024

UniversalHub, a Boston-oriented news site, reports that a company with the

non-autonomous drones to Mass General in a test of delivering medicine, even
medical equipment, to patients' homes. The...

GRANITE GEEK: THE PERIL AND PROMISE (AND PLENTY MORE PERIL) OF A.I.

by David Brooks | Jan 16, 2024

As mythological metaphors go, the one that SNHU professor David Humphreys gave
during a recent talk about the eruption of technologies known as artificial
intelligence wasn’t terribly reassuring. “We’ve opened a Pandora’s box,” he told
two dozen university students...

NH WANTS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT FISHERS

by David Brooks | Jan 16, 2024

Over the years I have occasionally glimpsed a scurrying weasel-like shape that
might be a fisher but I can't say with certainty that I've ever seen one, much

CONCORD HAS A CHANCE TO MAKE A BIG CLIMATE MOVE

by David Brooks | Jan 12, 2024

The city of Concord has a golden opportunity to show that it's serious about its
admirable clean-energy goals, but it's not the sort of opportunity you might
think of. Two huge mixed-use developments are proposed for the city: here's a
Monitor story about a recent...

‘CLEAN CEMENT’ FACTORY COMING TO MASSACHUSETTS

by David Brooks | Jan 12, 2024

In Holyoke, Mass., on the Connecticut River, they're replacing a closed paper
mill with a factory that will make "clean cement." If it lives up to hopes, that

ABOUT GRANITE GEEK

Dave Brooks has written a weekly science/tech newspaper column since 1991 – yes,
that long – and has written this blog since 2006, keeping an eye on geekish
topics in and around the Granite State. He discusses the geek world regularly on
WGIR-AM radio, and moderated the monthly Science Cafe NH sessions when they were
still a thing.

Brooks earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics but got lost on the way to the
Ivory Tower and ended up in a newsroom. He has reported for newspapers from
Tennessee to New England. Rummage through his bag of awards you’ll find oddities
like three Best Blog prizes from the New Hampshire Press Association and a
Writer of the Year award from the N.H. Farm and Forest Bureau, of all places. He
joined the Concord Monitor in 2015.
