SUMMARY:Green Algorithms\, Green DiSC and GREENER principles: making compu
 tational science more environmentally sustainable - Dr Loïc Lannelongue -
  Department of Public Health and Primary Care\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFrom genetic studies and astrophysics simulations 
 to AI\, scientific computing has enabled amazing discoveries and there is 
 no doubt it will continue to do so. However\, the corresponding environmen
 tal impact is a growing concern in light of the urgency of the climate cri
 sis\, so what can we all do about it? And in particular\, what is the role
  of computer scientists and research software engineers? Tackling this iss
 ue and making it easier for scientists to engage with sustainable computin
 g is what motivated the Green Algorithms project. Through the prism of the
  GREENER principles for environmentally sustainable science\, we will disc
 uss what we learned along the way\, how to estimate the impact of our work
  and what hurdles still exist. It will also be a chance to highlight how t
 he new Green DiSC certification framework can support scientists and insti
 tutions in making their research more sustainable.\n\nBio:\nDr Loïc Lanne
 longue is a Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge focus
 ing on environmentally sustainable computing and based in the Heart and Lu
 ng Research Institute in Cambridge\, UK. He leads the Green Algorithms ini
 tiative which promotes more environmentally sustainable computational scie
 nce. He also manages the Green DiSC certification framework for sustainabl
 e computing. His research interests also include radiogenomics\, i.e. comb
 ining medical imaging and genetic information with machine learning to bet
 ter understand and treat cardiovascular diseases. He is a Software Sustain
 ability Institute Fellow\, a College Associate at Jesus College\, Cambridg
 e\, a visiting scientist at the European Bioinformatic Institute (EMBL-EBI
 ) and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.\n\nLink to join
