Is there a way to fix this?

Same here. Clicking on Notices tab opens a new about:blank tab in my standard browser.
I'm not sure but I believe it started to behave like this after installing macOS 10.12.4.
I've tried closing and re-opening and reinstalling BOINC to fix the issue so far.

The BOINC developer for the Mac knows about it, but cannot fix it as his system is too old to run the newest OS X.
It's also seemingly a bug in (parts of) the latest OS X. For all the information about it, see this thread.

(And for future reference, when BOINC works perfectly fine with a previous OS X, and not after the update, it most likely isn't the fault of BOINC, but more of the OS X update...)
