title = "'The most important duty of a mentor remains his availability': An interview with Dr. Jean Morisset",
abstract = "We interview Dr. Jean Morisset, an internationally recognized leader in the field of pancreatic physiology. His work on the regulation of pancreatic secretion by hormones and the parasympathetic nervous system has been fundamental to the understanding of pancreatic adaptation to diet in normal as well as pathological conditions. Here he provides advices for young investigators starting in the field of pancreatic research and emphasizes the key role of the relationship mentor-mentee during the career development.",

note = "Funding Information: J.M.: Destiny, I guess. When I graduated in Biology from the Universit{\'e} de Sherbrooke in 1965, the Sciences Faculty opened its graduate school that year and I was among the first four graduate students to enroll in their new program. At that time, there was only one possible opening in physiology with Dr. Jacques Dunnigan, who was working on the exocrine pancreas. This is how I ended up working on this exciting gland, studying the role of hormones and the parasympathetic nervous system in pancreatic enzyme adaptation to diets in rats. In 1968, I became the first Ph.D. graduate of our university. I then had the good fortune to win a postdoctoral fellowship from the Research Council of Canada and I was accepted Copyright: Copyright 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
