CEU colleagues working on Environmentally Sustainable Computing led by @loiclnlg.bsky.social have launched a digital sustainability certification scheme called Green DiSC with the first Bronze Certifications awarded 🎉

Find out more about the first Bronze Certification awardees tinyurl.com/2jt389s8

Wild bird numbers continue to fall in UK with some species in ‘dramatic freefall’ Species index fell by 4% between 2019 and 2024 – although data shows woodland populations beginning to stabilise

A 7% decline in English birds in just 5 years is astonishing

The web of life is unravelling fast

Exciting to finally announce the first Green DiSC awardees!

Ideas of projects:
👉 Taking a global view encompassing environmental sustainability, human health, and perspectives from the Global South.
👉 Expanding environmental impacts beyond carbon footprint, with a focus on water usage in particular.

⏰ Last couple of days to apply to join my group @Cambridge as a postdoc and work on the environmental (un)sustainability of AI!

⏳ Closing September 16th.

✏️ Apply here: tinyurl.com/2ukkp8yx

Or learn more about what we do at www.lannelongue-group.org

Initial examples of research projects below 👇

We're touching a bit on this in my group, eg running a randomised trial on how to effectively incentivise users to do greener computing...and whether carbon monitoring tools (like the ones we build) are of any use to influence coders behaviour. Happy to chat more!

📣📣 Cool job alert! The @bakerresearchau.bsky.social is recruiting up to 2 new PIs in Biomedical Data Science 👉 www.seek.com.au/job/85989791...

You’d join an awesome institute in an incredible city (Melbourne, Australia) as well as partnerships like with @cam.ac.uk… you’ll also get to work with me 😁

My 3rd SSI Collaboration Workshop last week, an amazing & energising event as always! This one felt extra special: this time I actually had my own group to bring along! Team building + sustainable software, all in one 🌱 #newPI

Thanks @softwaresaved.bsky.social !

We are now on Bluesky!

Follow us to keep up to date with our research and find out what goes on at the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit in the @dphpc.bsky.social

#cardiovasculardisease #prevention #healthcare #bigdata #globalhealth #publichealth #riskfactors

Come work with us! It's a great team and exciting research 🌱

Thanks a lot!

@softwaresaved.bsky.social @dphpc.bsky.social @mctd.bsky.social @cambridgebrc.bsky.social @cst.cam.ac.uk you may know people :)

This is a chance to join the Green Algorithms project and a team of great people (unbiased opinion) working towards Environmentally Sustainable computing. For more info on our work: www.lannelongue-group.org

Topics can include:
💡Studying the environmental impacts of AI tools expected to become prominent in research in the coming years
💡Taking a global view on this: environmental sustainability + human health + Global South perspectives
💡Better integrate life-cycle analyses with a focus on water usage

📣 Interested in the environmental (un)sustainability of AI (and how to support positive change)? Or know someone who is? I have an open position for a postdoctoral researcher to join my group in Cambridge, UK 🌱

🚨Closing June 5th

A screenshot of a CHI 2025 paper titled "Of Ironies and Agency: Energy Professionals’ Views on Digital Interventions and Their Users" and co-authored by Christina Bremer, Bran Knowles and Adrian Friday at Lancaster University.

Excited to announce that I will be at #CHI2025 presenting the paper I co-authored with Bran Knowles and Adrian Friday 🌱

The paper describes the outcomes of a case study with energy professionals, revealing several "ironies of energy system automation".

Welcoming a new member of the lab (this is Newton!) and turning 30, it’s been a busy week here! But excited to see what the next decade has in store 🌱

Absolutely, an essential part of good science! 🐕

Code for Thought Welcome to Code for Thought, the podcast about software for research and the people who make it.  Languages: English, German, French

English edition [EN] #code4thought: @loiclnlg.bsky.social, @kirstypringle.bsky.social & Andy Turner tell us, why we should care about the energy consumption of our computers & programs. And what can we do about it? Out on your podcast apps, YouTube podcast

Grant writing in the Cambridgeshire sun, not the worst way to do it! (I do have to periodically throw the ball, today’s research assistant is quite strict on that 🐕)

Google doc apparently has inbuilt AI now. Seeing an unfamiliar vertical line, I hovered over it. It suggested that I make some corrections to the blurb I was writing. The first one was to change "Dr. Devezer" to "He".

Thank you, AGI.

Also looking forward to the AI Fringe event in London on Wednesday, where I’ll sit on a panel on “Designing, building and using sustainable AI” organised by the @raeng.org.uk

Starting with the Science Days at Institute Polytechnique de Paris this week, a student-led event at the Sorbonne tonight and back on Tuesday for the Forum for Sustainable AI at the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition

At the AI Action Summit in Paris this week and next week: message me if you’re around an want to chat about all things sustainable AI! 🌱 (or if you are at AI Fringe in London on Wed)

This is mind-boggling… you would have thought that “not contravening international law and human rights” was a no brainer as a starting point. Apparently not. Scary.

⏰ Deadline is tomorrow to apply to this reaearch role in Cambridge to work with me to make scientific computing more environmentally sustainable 🌱 part of the very cool (in my totally unbiased opinion) Green Algorithms Initiative
