About
Richard S. Boardman (1923-2011) was an American paleontologist and curator of the Department of Paleobiology at the United States National Museum. Boardman worked for the museum from 1957 to 1985 and subsequently became a founding member of the International Bryozoology Association (IBA). Boardman is best known for the hard/soft thin-sectioning technique that he developed in order to compare the internal morphology of living and fossilized bryozoans which have revealed new information about bryozoan life history.
