Between the Earth and the Sun

Patricia Doherty ’72, director and senior research scientist at Boston College’s Institute for Scientific Research (ISR), died in July at age 72. A leader in the study of space weather and its impact on global navigation systems, she was a beloved mentor to countless scientists in the field.

Doherty was recognized internationally for her research on Earth’s upper atmosphere and its impact on communication and navigation. The ISR conducts solar-terrestrial research and studies on the physics, chemistry, and weather of space. “Under Pat’s leadership, the ISR became an international leader in theoretical and experimental research to help us better understand the science of the vast space, as she liked to say, ‘between the surface of the Earth and the center of the sun,’” DeLuca Professor and Vice Provost for Research Thomas Chiles told Boston College.

Doherty was also an early champion of the international proliferation of satellite-based technology to overcome deficits in traditional infrastructure, traveling the world to organize conferences and workshops, particularly in the Global South. Her efforts built fruitful collaborations among scientists and bolstered much-needed research infrastructure and education. Chiles notes that she played “a vital role in the expansion of science education in developing countries, and worked tirelessly to increase the participation of women in global navigation satellite systems and space science research.”

 


 

The Tastemaker

David LaSalle ’77, a beloved DJ, died July 4, 2022. A lifelong music lover best known for fueling 37 years of dancing at the Atlantic House nightclub in Provincetown, Massachusetts, LaSalle began to turn his passion for music into a career at UMass, where he cut his teeth spinning tunes at fraternity parties while working toward his degree in hospitality and tourism management. LaSalle began working in Provincetown in 1983, where he would eventually meet his husband, Wayne Johnson, and his best friend, Peter Goldman.

At the “A-House,” one of the oldest gay bars in the country, LaSalle was admired for his exceptional taste and his aptitude for reading a room. “It was an art,” Goldman says. And LaSalle’s tastemaking reached past the dance floor—as a reporter for Billboard magazine, his votes helped to determine the chart-topping songs of the moment. “If there were songs he liked in June, he would make sure people liked them in August,” Johnson says.

LaSalle’s curated set lists provided the soundtrack for countless nights for the queer community, and his reputation extended far beyond Provincetown—visitors to the A-House hailed from all over, descending on the scene during highly anticipated summer visits. As the gay news outlet Edge Media Network wrote of LaSalle in 2010, “the world comes to him.”

 


 

Loud and Clear

Robert “Bob” Oliveira ’67MS, whose easygoing manner belied the grit that brought him success in business and science, died in September. He was 79.

Oliveira, who was raised in New Bedford, Mass., was a biochemist and inventor who held 17 patents. While working for 3M in the 1980s, he led the program for the first FDA-approved cochlear implant—a revolutionary treatment for severe hearing loss caused by inner-ear damage. In 1990, Oliveira founded Hearing Components, a research and development firm that manufactures foam earpieces to make hearing aids and listening devices more comfortable.

Along with his wife, Deanna “Dee” Oliveira ’66PhD, Bob founded Oliveira R&D Foundation, a Minneapolis nonprofit that provides educational scholarships to local young adults interested in STEM fields.

Oliveira was someone who smiled and introduced himself when a stranger stepped into the elevator. He enjoyed modern art, Louis Armstrong, and bicycling around the French countryside with new friends. “At his service, we listened to Armstrong’s recording of ‘What a Wonderful World,’” says Dee. “That was really Bob’s world.”

 


 

A Founding Mother of Women’s Studies

Mary Ellen Reilly ’73PhD died September 18, 2022, at the age of 81. One of the founders of the Women’s Studies program (now Gender and Women’s Studies) at the University of Rhode Island (URI), Reilly led the program for 15 years and was instrumental in expanding it into a full academic department. She retired in 2003 after 30 years of teaching.

“Mary Ellen was a strong leader with a passionate vision for the Women’s Studies program,” says Karen Stein, professor emerita of English and Women’s Studies at URI. One of Reilly’s proudest achievements was securing a million-dollar donation from Eleanor M. Carlson to fund an endowed professor of Women’s Studies and an annual public lecture. A sociologist by training, Reilly was internationally recognized for her groundbreaking research on sexual harassment and sexual abuse.

“Although she was generally soft-spoken, she could be tenacious when challenging people or policies that she found unacceptable,” says Barbara F. Luebke, Reilly’s partner of 32 years with whom Reilly also collaborated on a book about the first generation of women’s studies graduates. “She deserves praise for her decades-long advocacy for girls and women on campus and in Rhode Island and elsewhere. She never hesitated to speak truth to power when it came to their concerns and issues.”
