United States
I am a graduate student in physics at Iowa State University. As of this moment I have completed my Bachelor's in Science in Physics and I'm currently working as a TA (teacher's assistant) while doing graduate classes at Iowa State University. But I'll give more details to the drawings first, seeing as this is more of a drawing site.

I like physics, period. It's one of my favorite subjects, and I'm enjoying every minute of studying it while at college. And most of the time the drawings here are nerdy with references to all things science associated. Some of them are sketches, some of them are photoshopped colored versions of sketches. Just to let you guys know, you will not fully get the idea behind these nerdy pictures unless you know what the fundamental forces of nature are. And I'm not talking about earth, fire, air, and water. I'm talking about Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear, and Weak Nuclear. If you want to learn more, just ask me! I love to explain stuff! Again, this is me being a total nerd, so for right now just try and see these as four girls who are avatars of the four fundamental forces of nature. And again, I'm not a graphic artist, but I still enjoy drawing and I loved painting in these drawings on photoshop. Enjoy! :)

Right now the writing is kind of on hiatus, and I don't know exactly when in my life I'm going to pick it up. However I do want to pick up where I left off which was with two wonderful girls on the purple planet of Alpha Centauri.

Also, if you're giving me llamas, I'm no longer sending out thanks. Why? Because comments on artwork are a lot more valuable than a useless badge that does nothing and represents nothing special.

Hello everyone.

My first graduate year is over and now it's on to summer.

There are still a couple of requests I want to complete before I move on with what I want to draw.
- 6 characters, 2 of which have been done, for a friend who wants me to do a potential webcomic.
- A surprise picture that includes all four physics OC's. I don't want to spoil it yet, because I think the request was hilarious!
- I do have a few sketches here and there strewn about my notebooks that I might make a sketch dump.

However, my summer is not all clean cut to allow me for an efficient drawing season for said summer. I am doing summer research which is taking up the bulk of my time from 9 to 3. In addition a chunk of that time will be used to study for the qualification exams. And this time will be even greater when I get to the weekend. That's the work plan for the summer and I intend to take it very seriously.

My free time that I have left will be spent reading Harry Potter, gaming, and drawing when I can.

The research, if you're curious, is about particle phenomenon with a proton-proton collision. And the majority of my research is going into the simulations surrounding it. I've learned how to work the basics of the command line on Terminal, and now I'm going into how to operate and handle the simulation software. I will be going outside of Ames for a short while in early July to go and build part of the new detector for this nuclear physics group. It's going to be great!

This is going to be a building and exhausting summer, but it will be worth it.

Stay safe and have a good summer!

Hey Winonia,

Ironically I was google image searching for pictures of muon decay to sketch in my advanced lab report book. I saw you Winoia picture and though though it was cute and !Wow! Did you do that during your advanced lab class!?
Also is T1/2 the half life for KSU or the relativisitic Muon Stopping Rate you get for KSU (which is unitless but a correction factor onto the half-life)?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Oh, by the way, my real name's not Winona. It's Nels. XD
And thank you very much.

Yes, I did do that drawing specifically for the muon decay lab, because it was my favorite out of all of them. Albeit I never got to use it in a presentation because another group member claimed that project for his presentation. T(1/2) should be the non-relativistic half-life we measured using the instruments in the lab (look at the units in the drawing). The other number should be the mean lifetime. Both are in microseconds.

Also this drawing is 2 years old, and there are more drawings of Winona if you look through my gallery.

Hope this helps!
-Nels.
