This
is the highest award of The Micropalaeontological Society. It is named
in honour of George Stewardson Brady (1832-1921) and Henry Bowman Brady
(1835-1891) in recognition of their outstanding pioneering studies in
micropalaeontology and natural history.
The Medal is awarded to
scientists who have had a major influence on micropalaeontology by
means of a substantial body of excellent research. Service to the
scientific community may also be a factor for consideration by the
Award Committee. The medal was commissioned and was awarded for
the first time in 2007
to Prof. John W. Murray.
The Medal
is cast in bronze from original sculptures commissioned by The
Micropalaeontological Society in 2007. The sculptor is Anthony Stones,
Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and President
(1999-2004) of The Society of Portrait Sculptors. The Medal is hand
crafted by the leading sculpture foundry Pangolin Editions of
Chalford, England.
