# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Michael Servetus was a Spanish physician, theologian, and Renaissance polymath born in 1509 or 1511, versed in mathematics, astronomy, geography, anatomy, and biblical scholarship. He became the first European to correctly describe pulmonary circulation, publishing his findings in Christianismi Restitutio in 1553. He participated in the Protestant Reformation but broke with orthodoxy, rejecting the doctrine of the Trinity and mainstream Catholic Christology. After Catholic authorities in France condemned him for the Restitutio, he fled to Geneva, where John Calvin denounced him. The city's governing council ordered him burned at the stake for heresy on 27 October 1553.
