- FP category for this image
- She's a mathematician, but she was applying that math to physics, so I think Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Science and engineering makes sense.

- Comment I feel that the picture needs to be cropped, so that the focus is on her. --Rainbow Archer (talk) 11:16, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
- I think pictures of people at their job add a lot of value that cropping tends to remove. If we crop it to her, it would tend to de-emphasise that she was a NASA mathematician. Adam Cuerden (talk) 11:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
