 physics simulations to AI\, scientific computing has enabled amazing disco
 veries and there is no doubt it will continue to do so. However\, the corr
 esponding energy usage and environmental impacts are a growing concern in 
 light of the urgency of the climate crisis\, so what can we all do about i
 t? Tackling this issue and making it easier for scientists to engage with 
 sustainable computing is what motivated the Green Algorithms project. Thro
 ugh the prism of the GREENER principles for environmentally sustainable sc
 ience\, we will discuss what we learned along the way\, how to estimate th
 e impact of our work and what levers scientists and institutions have to m
 ake their research more sustainable. We will also debate what hurdles exis
 t and what is still needed moving forward.\n\nBio:\nDr Loïc Lannelongue i
 s a Research Associate in Biomedical Data Science in the Heart and Lung Re
 search Institute at the University of Cambridge\, UK\, and the Cambridge-B
 aker Systems Genomics Initiative. He leads the Green Algorithms project\, 
 an initiative promoting more environmentally sustainable computational sci
 ence. His research interests also include radiogenomics\, i.e. combining m
 edical imaging and genetic information with machine learning to better und
 erstand and treat cardiovascular diseases. He is a Software Sustainability
  Institute Fellow\, a Post-doctoral Associate at Jesus College\, Cambridge
 \, and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
