Dr. Handschumacher taught me and many other medical students pharmacology a the Yale School of Medicine. He was a creative, caring, genuine, and wonderful teacher as well as a brilliant researcher. He was one of those who made the Yale School of Medicine Department of Pharmacology great. I send my condolences to his family.
