'When Notre-Dame reopened on 7 December, it was thanks, in part, to the efforts of 175 researchers with expertise across a range of disciplines: acoustics, art, data, history, archaeology, anthropology.' Example of why blue-skies research matters for 'real-life' problems we've not yet imagined. 1/2 - ThreadSky

I thank all the academics who contributed to te restore, but actually I would rather prefer to celebrate all the work of the craftsmen and women. Carpenters, bricklayers, etc. They have done an exceptional job on this.

Both/and, not either/or.

It have been reopened because of the scans for Assassins Creed. Without that, they would have much joy with a big puzzle with some fotos.

A small section of the hoarding with mini biogs of various individuals involved.

Those mini biogs shld make France proud. Faces/ names represent a multi cultural nation.

Vive Macron!
Vive le France!
To all who had a hand in this magnificent endeavor, a hearty 'Thank you!' and crisp salute.

'To aid the cathedral’s restoration – and glean new scientific understanding from the process – nine working groups were set up: acoustic, wood and framework, monumental decorations, emotions and mobilisations, metal, digital data, stone and mortar, structure and glass.' 2/2

imagine the British having to restore Westminster Abbey and announcing one of the key research groups was emotions. The right wing media would go bonkers (technically more bonkers I suppose) about woke scientists. And if they decided it needed restoring to its original paint scheme.....
