“I will still be writing regularly, but it means I’ll also be helping dot i’s, cross t’s, and shape the site’s voice in ways I’m excited to do,” Whitbrook said on Twitter.

io9 was founded in 2008 by Annalee Newitz, a former policy analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and contributor to Popular Science, Wired, and New Scientist.

It was made a part of Gizmodo in 2014.
