He shares practical ways to measure and optimise the energy use of fMRI data processing, including how removing unnecessary steps from a pipeline can cut emissions by around 50%. The conversation also examines responsible AI use, sustainable data storage, and how certification initiatives can make sustainability a standard part of scientific research.\nLearn more about our people:\nAditya Manglik: LinkedIn | GitHub | Website\nDr. Nick Souter: LinkedIn | Website\n\nFind out more about the GSF:\nThe Green Software Foundation Website \nSign up to the Green Software Foundation Newsletter\n\nNews:\nComparing the carbon footprint of fMRI data processing and analysis approaches | Dr. Souter et al.
