Abstract
The unicellular biflagellate green alga {\it Chlamydomonas reinhardtii} has been an important model system in biology for decades, and in recent years it has started to attract growing attention also within the biophysics community. Here we provide a concise review of some of the aspects of {\it Chlamydomonas} biology and biophysics most immediately relevant to physicists that might be interested in starting to work with this versatile microorganism.
