She was an intern at Ashoka&#39;s Integrated Technology Initiative last summer. In 2005, Lauren was the project manager for a grant application to the NIH. She was also an intern in the marketing department at Bloomberg. Lauren has been a leader for Amnesty International chapters in high school and at college. Next semester, she will be teaching an ExCo (student led course) on Social Entrepreneurship at Oberlin. <br />  <br /> She loves to travel, hike, perform and listen to music, and make chocolate desserts. Though her primary instrument is the French Horn, she&#39;s very interested in non-Western music and instruments, particularly the Kora and Sitar.<br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/blogs/2007/01/04/new-blogger-joins-nextbillion-net-team-lauren-abendschein">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/blogs/2007/01/04/new-blogger-joins-nextbillion-net-team-lauren-abendschein#comment Miscellaneous Thu, 04 Jan 2007 09:50:08 -0500 Rob Katz 3718 at http://www.nextbillion.net
