note = "Funding Information: No one would dispute that Joel Roslyn was the consummate academic surgeon. Joel was a superb technical pancreatic and biliary tract surgeon, and was funded by both the VA Merit Review and the NIH. He had over 100 peer reviewed publications, and was a member of 5 editorial boards. Joel became chairman of the Department of Surgery at the young age of 41. Additionally, Joel Roslyn was president of both the AAS and SUS. The VA was instrumental in the development of Joel Roslyn as a surgical scientist. Joel worked at the Sepulveda VA from 1983–1992. He was staff surgeon from 1983–1987, Research Associate from 1985–1987, Acting Chief of the Surgical Service from 1986–1987, and Chief of General Surgery from 1988–1992. Joel Roslyn received his initial research funding from the VA as well. He was a collaborator with Dr Larry DenBesten, his mentor, from 1980–1984 and a Co-Investigator with Dr DenBesten from 1984–1987. Joel received a VA career development award with Dr DenBesten as his mentor in 1985. Dr Roslyn received his first grant as Principal Investigator from the VA Merit review in 1987. He successfully renewed his VA Merit Review Grant in 1992. I know Joel valued his VA experience and was indebted to the VA for its contribution to his academic success. ",
