A brainy article about brainy stuff!
Put into a design made by morons!
Genetic breakthrough that reveals the differences between humans
Seriously, somebody please tell me how it makes sense to force readers on the internet to scroll back up to see a second column of text?
It’s bonkers.
Even the International Herald Tribune has switched to a single column format, after long using the weird three-column thing as a default (which at least doesn’t force you to needlessly scroll).
Actually I like the IHT 3-col design. A French newspaper copied it for a while, and had to let it go too.
But this one, yeah it’s bad…
