In case some of you have not heard this news, and at Steve Colburn's request, I am passing on the message he sent to his seminar mailing list and a link to more information on the
department website about the recent death of David Mountain. Another huge loss. http://www.bu.edu/bme/2014/11/14/david-mountain-dies/
Dear HRC members and friends:
I am sending the sad news that we learned today: we lost our deeply loved and respected colleague David Mountain. He lost his battle with cancer Wednesday night, a battle that he fought so well that we did not understand
how seriously he was at risk.
David is a central figure in our field and in our experiences. He is a giant in multiple areas of auditory research, and he has been a role model for many of us in his ability to pursue his ideas intensely with the
highest standards of integrity and creativity.
I want to get this message out to you with the urgency it deserves, and therefore I will postpone a more complete statement of his huge impact on me and my life and a more detailed discussion of his contributions to
our field.
I miss him terribly. I am struggling to deal with this news, which I know is true but which my soul rejects.
