Review[edit]

Untitled[edit]

“She was born in Padova, Italy and studied at the University of Padova,[1] going on to receive a PhD in physics from Johns Hopkins University in 1996. She became a professor at Rutgers University in 2004.[2] She also worked at the California Institute of Technology.[3] Ferrarese was named guest lecturer for the Helen Sawyer Hogg Prize Lecture in 2014.[2]” - very choppy language
“previously a Past Member “ redundant
If possible add birth year in info box
“Ferrarese is president of the Canadian Astronomical Society. She is a recognized leader in research into supermassive black holes. She has led several major galaxy surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope and the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope.[2]” - redundant because this is mentioned in nearly every section
I would consider changing the “Life” section to “Personal Life” or something similar to that if you can find any information on her outside of her work. *I think her education and current job fit in there but I’m not sure if ongoing research is right for that section.
Well linked
More images would add to the article
The link on the first source does not seem to link right, although the source is verifiable.
Add University of Padova to the academic background section of the info box
