• ... that Carolyn Huntoon (pictured) was the first woman to serve as the director of the Johnson Space Center? Source: "NASA has named Carolyn Huntoon director of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Huntoon, who began her career with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1970 and served most recently as director of Space and Life Sciences at the center, is the first female director of the command center of the U.S. space program."

  • ALT1:... Carolyn Huntoon (pictured) joined NASA as a result of her master's thesis on aldosterone, a salt-retaining hormone produced by the adrenal gland? Source: " as part of my master’s thesis, we decided to study the salt-retaining hormone, [aldosterone,] because fluid and electrolyte balance had been a big issue with space flight. The crews were coming back in a fainting mode after they reentered. Their metabolism was not normal right after reentry, and we were trying to find out why. I set up an analysis for aldosterone, which is a salt-retaining hormone of the adrenal gland, there at Baylor College of Medicine, and that was for my master’s thesis. I did the analysis on normal subjects and on astronauts and for the first time documented that people that go into space come back with a very high aldosterone level, trying obviously to conserve sodium which had been lost during space flight. So that sort of was the enticement for me to get involved with NASA." [2]

Overall: I am hoping that the image used does not have any copyright issues, it looks fine to for now. Another review of the image would be useful. I am new to reviewing so any suggestions would be welcome! Woman4Tech (talk) 13:20, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Article is new enough, long enough, sourced, and not plagiarised. Hooks are interesting, and I have no preference for the one that is used. Image is free use, in the article and clear. QPQ is done. This is approved. Z1720 (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
