I added material about Varela as the co-founder of Mind and Life Institute. I was surprised to find that not mentioned, since I understood it was the accomplishment for which he is best known by the general public. For that reason, I also added it to the introduction. I hope this is not controversial.  Evidence from google is this: "'Fransisco Varela'" alone got 411K hits, "'Fransisco Varela' 'Mind and Life'" got 174K,  "'Fransisco Varela' 'autopoiesis'" got 74K. So it seems Mind & Life is actually quite a bit more prominent for Varela than autopoiesis.
