This Monday morning, we had heating issues in the lab. Fortunately, we had a big MaxQuant running and it wasn't cold at all.

Should we blame MQ for its contribution to global warming?

@lgatto To be honest: is there any analysis of the global warming effects of a proteomics experiment? I fear a big SUV-like carbon trace following each .raw/.d file/folder along, looong before any MaxQuant is coming up at the horizon.

@kabalak @lgatto Not sure if there are proper analyses, however there are tools around like this mlco2.github.io/impact/#comput which might give you an idea.
