J.H. Burn: an appreciation

Abstract

Those who worked with Harold Burn will always have their own vivid and very personal memories of him but there are hundreds of others who knew him personally, and thousands who did not, who will never forget this exceptional man.And there are perhaps tens of thousands, including those in future generations who will be influenced by what he was, by what he wrote and what he did.If anyone can be said to have moulded the subject of pharmacology around the world, it is he.He did this through his particular style of research, through the lucidity of his writings but most of all through the school which he founded.Young, impressionable scientists from various disciplines and older, not so impressionable, pharmacologists all came to work with him.They found inspiration in working with him, caught his enthusiasm for pharmacology and then returned to continue their research elsewhere in the world in universities, institutes, in clinical medicine and in industry.
