Shaun Hendy is a well-respected New Zealand physicist and the chief scientist at climate innovation company Toha.
He was the founder and first director of Te Pūnaha Matatini from 2015-2021 where he and his team modelled Covid-19 scenarios for the Government during the height of infections in New Zealand.
His new book The Covid Response: A Scientist's Account of New Zealand's Pandemic and What Comes Next details New Zealand's strategy against the virus – what we got right, the mistakes that were made, and the lessons we can learn from to prepare for future pandemics.
