Lance R. Pohl, 78, died July 29 in Kensington, Maryland.

“Lance was well known for his pioneering work on drug-induced liver injury that led to the development of safer drugs. He loved to solve difficult scientific puzzles and was noted for having a picture of Sherlock Holmes above his desk. Mentoring young scientists was a vital part of Lance’s work, and watching them grow throughout their careers gave him great joy. He was equally passionate about his recreational pursuits: a love of photography, listening to the jazz of Miles Davis, and watching classic movies such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Black Rain, Dirty Harry, and The Godfather.”—Sheila Pohl, wife
