In today’s Good News, a new space dedicated to connecting unclaimed art stolen by the Nazis — including works by Degas, Renoir and Rodin — is now open at Paris’ Musée d’Orsay. And in Colorado, a fleet of electric buses will take students to school during the day and return power to the grid at night.

A 23-year-old aspiring pilot is the first person in Louisiana to be functionally cured of sickle cell disease. Louisiana has the most cases of the genetic blood disorder per capita in the U.S. Doctors at Manning Family Children’s Hospital edited Daniel Cressy’s stem cells so they increase the production of fetal hemoglobin, which prevents the sickling of red blood cells. Three months after the cells were reintroduced to his body, Cressy’s hemoglobin levels were at their highest on record.

Three former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees have created a new website, Climate.us, to replace Climate.gov, the federal site shuttered last year by the Trump administration. Climate.us publishes the same accurate and “easy-to-understand information,” NPR said, including 15 years’ worth of climate news and key graphs, maps, classroom materials and climate literary resources. Dozens of volunteers, including 80 scientists, have joined the effort and will serve as expert fact-checkers.

France’s Musée d’Orsay has opened a permanent exhibition called “Who Owns These Works,” seeking to return art looted by the Nazis to its rightful heirs. The museum has 225 artworks taken during World War II whose owners’ descendants haven’t been found. “Who Owns These Works” will display 13 pieces at a time, with both the front and back visible so visitors can look for identifying clues. In the last 30 years, the museum has returned 15 stolen works.

Six new electric school buses in Colorado are doubling as backup batteries for the Denver area’s power grid. Buses will be kept in a barn with “two-way charging flows,” so they can “put power from their batteries back on the grid at peak times,” said The Colorado Sun. Electric buses need less maintenance, and the Cherry Creek school district’s partnership with Highland Electric Fleets and Xcel Energy “works to support our environmental goals while delivering long-term operations savings,” said Interim Superintendent Jennifer Perry.
