Reason: The image is high-quality. Would have rather had better dating of it, Mr. Smithsonian Institution Who Should Know Better, but we can narrow it down enough that it's not excessive. Edit: About 19421. I found a very similar photograph published in an industry journal in February 1942, and Penny Richards traced it to a newspaper in 1941, so... She started her career off as a professor teaching Chemistry to Home Economics students - and showed just how much you can do with that kind of thing, because she was really good at research on nutrition and such, and it eventually lead to her working for NASA in helping astronauts maintain bone density.

Support as article creator (six years ago!) – It's not-so-common for academic women of her generation to have a high-quality portrait, so this is wonderful to highlight; and the NASA connection is definitely a bonus. Penny Richards (talk) 02:50, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
