A lot of my work on monitoring the deployment of NZ COVID Tracer has been disseminated through Twitter. While I keep track of media appearances, what I say has often been "interpreted" by journalists (which is not inherently a bad thing), whereas I have control over what is said from my account on Twitter. But Twitter threads are more ephemeral, so it's useful to collate them here so I can refer back to them later. Media appearances are tracked at https://www.andrewchen.nz/ (see Blogs and Writing and Politics and Talks).
