Overview

Cintia Perugachi Israëls received her Master in Physics in 2022 after defending her theoretical physics thesis on the movement of chloroplasts. The quality of this thesis was not just in the research and the writing, it was also beautifully produced. This makes it an inspiring example for other students. Physics master theses in The Netherlands generally are the result of one full year of research. Note, the production of the back cover is a bit tongue-in-cheek, as humor is an important element of making it to the end of all these years of hard work

"""For centuries, we have wondered what plants do in the dark. Now, we know: they move. Just a little bit, but they do."" - Supervisor ""The practical applications of this theoretical thesis are manifold; for example, it teaches us that to escape the sun, we have to hop on top of each other and swirl around."" - Supervisor ""Captivating from the first page to the last, this thesis has it all; brilliant biophysical research, biologist bashing and most importantly: rainbow figures"" - T. Veenstra ""The pure exhilaration of chloroplast movement is beautifully captured in this masterful thesis."" - R. Wierda ""A must-read for anyone interested in biophysics, including a layman's summary for, well, laymen."" - L. Israëls ""Came for the rainbows, stayed for the chloroplasts; an essential for everyone's bookshelves!"" - M. Keiren"
