IFT.org is Now Optimized for Mobile
During IFT’s most recent survey, almost one-third of IFT members who responded said that they’re using a mobile phone or tablet to access data related to food science. To aid in your on-the-go research efforts, IFT has launched a mobile-optimized version of ift.org. Benefits of the new site include faster load times and a much easier navigation interface. In addition to looking clean and streamlined, the mobile version has the same robust search functionality as the full ift.org, but at your fingertips. The next time you pull out your phone or tablet device (in portrait mode only) visit ift.org and browse around the newly designed mobile site. And please let us know what you think, as we are always looking to improve the site to meet your needs.
