| Monica Grady |
Monica Grady is head of the petrology and meteoritics division in the department of mineralogy at The Natural History Museum, and honorary reader in geological sciences at University College, London. Dr Grady received an honours degree in chemistry and geology from the University of Durham in 1979, then went on to complete a Ph.D. on carbon in stony meteorites at the University of Cambridge in 1982. Since then Monica has continued to specialise in the study of meteorites, and carried out this research at Cambridge, then the Open University, prior to joining the Natural History Museum in 1991. Her particular research interests are in carbon and nitrogen stable isotope geochemistry of Martian meteorites and micrometeorites, and in astrobiology and the possibilities of life elsewhere in the cosmos. Asteroid (4731) was named Monicagrady in her honour.
