There are also a variety of formatting issues with the site, regardless of browser. Particularly, the current header image (on the home page) is super tall, and pushes all of the content way down. There are some weird thing happening with your responsive design when you shrink the window width below 960px wide, the header space below the logo takes up the entire height of the window. It appears to be caused by the property .site-title a { height: 100%; }. Also, the sticky headers on the articles are annoying, especially on small screens since they rob a lot of viewing space, causing more scrolling to be required.
As an aside, it looks like you are using Drupal for this site. As a long-time Drupal and Wordpress user/developer, I don't see anything on your site where you need the complexity/flexibility of Drupal over the simplicity/ease-of-use of Wordpress. I administer several sites using both CMS, and I would definitely recommend Wordpress unless you have a bulletproof case for why you *need* to use Drupal instead. I guess you are probably "locked in" and would have to port all the content over to Wordpress, but still, it might be worth it. I would definitely consider it, in the very least.
