17 years out from her Ph.D. is not "early-career". Being early in one's career is not in itself a reason for deletion.  The "not senior author on any" claim is mistaken; she is first author on her second-most-cited paper, "Microcolony cultivation on a soil substrate membrane system selects for previously uncultured soil bacteria". She has attracted significant media attention including a story in ''Newsweek'' for her research on antarctic air-eating bacteria http://www.newsweek.com/bizarre-antarctic-bacteria-live-air-alone-could-show-exactly-how-alien-life-742631 http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/bacteria-discovery-in-antarctica-prompts-rethink-of-humanitys-search-for-alien-life/news-story/29e6b683bea747a132ef5d1ececa1ae7?from=rss-basic https://cosmosmagazine.com/biology/air-eating-bacteria-found-in-antarctica; although this work is too new to have attracted many academic citations yet, I think it says something that it was published in ''Nature'' https://www.nature.com/articles/nature25014; she is last author, and the media stories call her "senior author". And in general, her citation counts on Google Scholar look above threshold for #C1 to me
