This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 30 September 2020 and 1 December 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Cafe.doppio.
As part of a Women Science history course at Portland State University, I chose to research databases and other sources to supplement the WP page for this scientist. I found that there is a lack of discoverable information from Oregon State University (save the fund page and a short biography page) and Univ of Oregon, her two academic affiliations. She also worked at Arizona State University-no work was found there
The sole document of substance is the Rhoda Love biography; it has been cited by 1-2 academic persons in botany.
Her body of work pertaining to the Pacific Northwest is substantial: the guides are a rich and unchallenged resource.
The lack of varied/independent sources for this scientist is indisputable and unlikely to be resolved
I was able to fix a link to the Oregon State Univ fund page.
