Boardman worked for the museum from 1957 to 1985 and subsequently became a founding member of theInternational Bryozoology Association (IBA).[1] 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.[2]
