This is a follow up on yesterday’s post. It seems that Mr. Lindemann is a supporter of higher education. Brown University reports the George Lindemann Professor Recognition with this tidbit:

Osvaldo Sala has been appointed the Sloan Lindemann and George Lindemann Jr. Distinguished Professor in Environmental Studies. Sala joined the faculty this year as professor of biology to lead the Environmental Change Initiative and to serve as director of the Center for Environmental Studies.

It’s interesting that the man who heads a natural gas company would endow a professorship in Environmental Studies.Guess we can file this one under “what makes them tick?”.
