# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Aage Niels Bohr was born in Copenhagen on 19 June 1922, the son of Niels Bohr, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics that same year. Working from James Rainwater's concept of an irregular-shaped liquid drop model of the nucleus, Bohr and Ben Roy Mottelson built out a detailed theory linking collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei — work that matched experimental results with rare precision. In 1975, the three shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery and the theory of nuclear structure it enabled. Bohr died on 8 September 2009, one half of a father-son Nobel pair separated by fifty-three years.
