# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Johann Rudolf Glauber was born on 10 March 1604, working in an era when the line between alchemist and chemist was still blurred. In 1625 he isolated sodium sulfate, a compound that would be named Glauber's salt in his honor. His approach to chemistry — practical, process-oriented — led some historians to label him among the first chemical engineers, a forerunner who saw the craft as more than transmutation. He died on 16 March 1670, leaving a name attached to a mineral and a claim on the profession's early scaffolding.
