Keynote talks
In this presentation, Jenny discusses her route into bioinformatics and the work of LifeArc.
Loïc Lannelongue – Environmental impact of bioinformatics
The environmental impact of (scientific) computing, computational biology in particular, is a growing concern in light of the urgency of the climate crisis, and there is widespread interest in the research community; so what can we all do about it? Tackling this issue and making it easier for scientists to engage with sustainable computing is what motivated the Green Algorithms project. We will discuss what we learned along the way, how to estimate the impact of our work and dive into the carbon footprint of common bioinformatic analyses. We will also highlight the levers scientists and institutions have to make their research more sustainable, debate the ethical implications of these environmental costs and examine what is still needed moving forward.
