On this ep of Strong Independent Woman Baby, we talk about the March for Science and discuss ways to keep your baby happy and safe at a protest or march. We also discuss a Google project that uses machine learning to quantify gender representation in media, and briefly talk about brilliance and grit.

The Google Project: "The women missing from the silver screen and the technology used to find them"
