Josette Biyo did not discover an asteroid. She had an asteroid named in her honor. It was MIT that named a minor planet/asteroid after Biyo since she won the 2002 Intel Excellence in Teaching award.

Only a handful of research astronomers are involved in actually discovering asteroids. Many famous people have had asteroids named after them.
