Aadi Kulkarni, 17, started teaching digital skills to seniors in his community around five years ago. He and his friends would go to local libraries and senior homes to help with things like sending emails or using a smartphone.

Aadi then founded the nonprofit TechPals in 2022 to continue that work and it’s since grown to over 500 volunteers across seven states.

Grab a pencil (and maybe a pint?) and get ready for the inaugural Outside/In trivia episode we’re calling “Natural Selection.”

It’s trivia night! Plus we debate who gets the mantle of most outdoorsy, adventuresome president.

Although it won’t necessarily be neat and tidy, gardeners and ecologists recommend leaving perennial plants – including stalks and canes – as is until spring.

Emma Erler, host of Homegrown NH and lead horticulturist with Kirkwood Gardens at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, is here with some seasonal gardening tips.

She says she prioritizes cutting back anything diseased, keeping an eye on peonies or phlox that are prone to powdery mildew.

“I cut those down and keep those out of my compost pile, because it doesn’t get hot enough to kill the fungi and disease.” she says. “I want to limit that as much as possible. So I either burn those or bring them to the transfer station.”

Pollinators, insects and birds will all benefit if you leave your perennials until spring.

“The breadth of the anti-DEI laws’ prohibition is startling,” wrote Judge Landya B. McCafferty, with the U.S. District Court in Concord, New Hampshire. “The definition of ‘DEI’ contained [in the law] is so far-reaching that it prohibits long-accepted — even legally required — teaching and administrative practices.”

Nashua officials say state economic officials courted the company, Nongfu Spring, which is owned by one of China’s richest men. The state Department of Business and Economic Affairs, however, has said it gave ”no substantive assistance” to Nongfu Spring.

But new documents obtained by NHPR show that senior state economic development officials in fact worked for months to recruit Nongfu Spring to New Hampshire, offering to help the company with permits, utilities and infrastructure, and facilitating meetings on other matters.

Much scrutiny has been placed on the role the state and city of Nashua played in orchestrating the sale of a warehouse to a subsidiary of Chinese company Nongfu Spring in January.
