# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Odd Hassel was born on 17 May 1897 in Norway, entering a world where the architecture of molecules was still largely guesswork. He trained as a physical chemist, focusing on the geometry hidden inside chemical compounds—work that required patience, precision, and an eye for patterns others missed. His research into molecular conformation eventually earned him the Nobel Prize, recognition that a life spent mapping invisible structures had rewritten the field's fundamentals. He continued working until his death on 11 May 1981, six days before what would have been his eighty-fourth birthday.
