# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Otto Wallach was born in Germany on 27 March 1847. He built his career as a chemist working on alicyclic compounds, a stubborn class of ring structures that resisted clear understanding. His breakthroughs in mapping their behavior earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1910. He died on 26 February 1931, leaving a clearer map of molecular architecture than he'd found.
