The Verge launched its new Verge Science vertical on Wednesday and tapped Wired reporter Katie Drummond as editor, the publication said.
Drummond most recently covered military research on Wired‘s defense blog, Danger Room, and previously worked at Rupert Murdoch’s failed tablet news app The Daily and for AOL News, where she reported on science and health news.
The new section marks further expansion of the nascent Vox Media-owned tech and culture site that has made a name for itself as a journalist’s news startup, slamming the Huffington Post for scraping 239 words of an aggregated story and touting its thorough, original reporting.
