# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Pierre Curie built his career on precision: he pioneered work in crystallography and magnetism in an era when the invisible forces of matter were just beginning to yield to measurement. In 1903, he and his wife Marie won half the Nobel Prize in Physics for their investigations into radioactivity, making them the first married couple to take the honor and starting a family streak that would reach five Nobels. Three years later, on a rainy Paris street, a wagon wheel ended it — he was 46, his work unfinished, the Curie name only beginning its rise.
