Pearl Lee Boone (c.1895 / 1896 –1954) was an invertebrate zoologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. She was one of the more infamous carcinologists of her time, as her career was fraught with claims of incompetence and disagreements about the veracity of her work in identifications. {{Infobox scientist| name = Pearl Lee Boone | image = | alt = | caption = | birth_place = Virginia, USA | other_names = Lee Boone | residence = United States | nationality = American | fields = Invertebrate Zoology | workplaces = {{ublist |National Museum of Natural History | Aquarium and Biological Laboratory in Miami | US Department of Agriculture | Bingham Oceanographic Foundation at Yale }} | alma_mater = | known_for = | author_abbrev_zoo = PL Boone, L Boone | awards = }} Life and careerBoone was born in Virginia in 1895 or 1896. Her father was born in Maryland and her mother was born in Virginia.[1] Boone began at the United States National Museum, now the National Museum of Natural History in 1913. She was originally an entomological preparator for the United States Department of Agriculture in the Division of Insects at the museum. In 1916 she was hired as an aid for the Division of Marine Invertebrates at the museum, where she was paid $900 per year. In 1918 she was given a raise to be paid $1020 per year. During her time at the museum she earned a BA in 1919, M.S. and B. ed. in 1920 from George Washington University. In 1921 she was asked to resign from her position at the museum after an investigation had been conducted by the museum. During her time at the museum she was accused of incompetence by Waldo Schmitt and other colleagues, while she claimed she was harassed by him.[2][3] After she left the museum she worked at the Aquarium and Biological Laboratory in Miami and the US Department of Agriculture. Finally, she was a research associate at the Bingham Oceanographic Foundation at Yale, now part of the Yale Peabody Museum's Division of Vertebrate Zoology ichthyology collection.[4] The ideas of incompetence followed her for her whole career.[5] In 1922 she requested to have access to the National Museum's collections while working on a report that would be published by the Miami Aquarium Association. This request was vehemently opposed by Schmitt, but he was not in charge of allowing access. Schmittt had also written in a few letters to others in the field expressing his dislike of Boone.[2] Boone lived in Hyattsville, Maryland as she worked as an aid for the National Museum and the Department of Agriculture. The Washington, D.C. directory listed her from 1913 to 1923. Her job description in 1923, after she had left the museum, was a junior biologist for the Department of Agriculture.[6] In 1930, she lived in Manhattan as a biologist of oceanic research working on her own account.[1] Boone went by a few names over the course of her career. She went primarily by Peal Lee Boone, but later on changed to Lee Boone and even Mr. Lee Boone. One one letter in 1917 while she was at the Smithsonian she signed herself as Virginia Lee Boone.[3] She died in 1954. Select Publications
