Has anyone ever used a "small space" on Word for Macs, as opposed to a normal-sized space between words? If so, how to you enter it? I'm trying to follow very precise instructions for the edition of a Latin text. #medievalsky

Anne Lester's wonderful AHA essay on the rebuilding on Notre Dame in Paris, and the importance of what the French call "science" but we know to include knowledge of the humanities for this rebuilding process.
As Notre-Dame was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 2019, the resulting “new research is staggering,” Anne E. Lester writes in #AHAPerspectives, “encompassing medieval cathedral construction, repair, building techniques, and more.” 🗃️
