Dear Autonians, <br>
<br>
I would like to share great news about our own Emily Kennedy and
her - actually we can say it is ours :) - spinoff company, Marinus
Analytics.<br>
<br>
Recall that Traffic Jam has been developed at the Auton Lab to
mine online data for evidence<br>
indicative of human trafficking, and it has since been
transitioned to widespread practice across <br>
law enforcement and NGO spaces by Marinus.<br>
<br>
<span class="">Marinus was selected to receive the Toyota “Mother
of Invention” Award, based on the work on "Traffic Jam" and
using technology to combat human trafficking. CEO Emily Kennedy
will be accepting this award at the Los Angeles Salon this week
as well as the New York City Summit in April. This award is
given to “women-led companies, who are tackling the world’s most
challenging issues with remarkable creativity. These women, who
are leading the charge to work on issues like homelessness,
education, food, water, energy and more, come from all over the
world, and are using innovation to create lasting and
sustainable impact.” <br>
<br>
(check their website for previous awardees, really impressive
stuff: </span><a

Huge congrats to Emily, Marinus and everyone at the Auton
Lab who helped develop the underlying technology and ideas
for its use!<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
