| Cells form open systems which maintain homeostasis, have a metabolism, grow, adapt to their environment, reproduce, respond to stimuli, and organize themselves. | ||
| Therefore, cells are the fundamental building block of life which were first discovered in 1665 by the British scientist Robert Hooke. Hooke investigated a thin slice of cork with a very rudimentary microscope, and to his surprise noticed that the slice appeared to resemble a honeycomb. He named these tiny units 'cells'. | ||

I wonder whether we can actually drop all of this fluff although it's kinda cute

Do you mean just the first paragraph with Robert Hooke? Then, I would keep it. It's cute enough and the content will become more complicated anyway. So it's an easy introduction at the beginning.
Do you mean the whole "2.1 The building block of life" part? We could discuss making it shorter in general.

Kinda both. So let's keep the first one an if you have ideas to make the second one shorter, I'm happy to see them implemented. But not a big deal.
No, I haven´t added new content yet. I can create a new follow-up branch or push current changes to this PR. Since I don't have much experience using Git Hub on larger projects, perhaps you can recommend one of these options. |
…s for the key takeaways

These key takeaway boxes are a really really nice idea. Two comments:
- They seem to be a bit/long/verbose. Is there a way to make them shorter or take less space?
- We need to agree on a final design of these together with @seohyonkim so that we can roll them out in all chapters.
I solved some merge conflicts.
You can make a follow up PR then additional content improvements. It's good if we keep one PR with one concern.

I love the see also. I think we could make the strengths and weaknesses maybe look nicer but it's fine. Let's merge this and then iterate. |
This is a good idea. I will keep that in mind for the next iteration! 👍 |
I cleaned the sentences (e.g., improved grammar, wording, small typing errors, etc. ) and added features like a note for sequencing length, the key takeaways of the chapter, or added a term to the glossary.
Please have a look when you have time :)
