Wired hires Taft as senior writer

Molly Taft

Tim Marchman, director of politics, science, and security coverage at Wired, sent out the following on Tuesday:

I’m delighted to announce that Molly Taft will be joining us as a senior writer covering climate on the science desk starting this coming Monday, March 24.

You’ll be familiar with their work from, among other places, Drilled, The New Republic, Earther, and, of course, WIRED. While they’ll be covering all things climate, they’ll be particularly focused on new energy technologies, who’s making money off them, and how this affects average people, and will be working out of the New York office. Very exciting!!
