# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born September 3, 1869, into a mixed Slovene-German-speaking family, Fritz Pregl trained as both a physician and a chemist in the Austro-Hungarian borderlands. His breakthrough came in quantitative organic microanalysis: he refined the combustion train technique for elemental analysis, allowing chemists to determine a substance's makeup from minuscule samples instead of the grams previously required. The Nobel committee gave him chemistry's highest honor in 1923 for work that reshaped lab practice across disciplines. He died in Graz on December 13, 1930, seven years after the prize, his methods by then standard.
