Nick Evershed is an award-winning journalist working for Guardian Australia. Most recently, his work has included illustrating the spread of coronavirus and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. After a short stint as a microbiologist, he switched careers to journalism and now combines research skills learned in science with traditional journalistic techniques. Using a combination of data analysis, data visualisation, and programming he has worked on everything from large investigations like the Nauru Files and Panama Papers to detailed analysis of trends in popular Australian music over time, and using council datasets to determine naming trends for dog breeds. He has won Walkley awards for his work on the Deaths Inside investigation into Indigenous deaths in custody, and his work on the Killing Times project examining Indigenous massacres in colonial Australia.
