Emily is a Mother (of Invention)!

[Artur Dubrawski]

Dear Autonians,

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.

Recall that Traffic Jam has been developed at the Auton Lab to mine 
online data for evidence
indicative of human trafficking, and it has since been transitioned to 
widespread practice across
law enforcement and NGO spaces by Marinus.

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.”

(check their website for previous awardees, really impressive stuff:

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

Cheers
Artur
