can someone comment on the legitimacy/reliablity of the "Cern Courier". The article seems legit (no tin foil hats), but that font. woof, it makes it look super amateur.

The author appears to be an astrophysicist, and you may know CERN from such products as the Large Hadron Collider and the World Wide Web.


I know what you mean by 'that font', you must be using chrome on windows.

Apparently it's a 'bug' in their CSS, they are aware of the issue but haven't fixed it yet, http://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/2l2ijj/the_brookhav...


Speaking as a high energy physicist, they're absolutely a legitimate publication. I don't read it regularly, but the CERN Courier has been part of particle physics culture for a very long time (maybe since CERN was founded).
