# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann was born in Germany on 10 April 1755 and trained as a medical doctor. At some point he developed homeopathy, a system of alternative medicine built on extreme dilution and the idea that a substance causing symptoms in a healthy person can cure those symptoms in a sick one. The method gained followers and fierce critics in equal measure. Hahnemann died on 2 July 1843, leaving behind a practice that modern science rejects but that persists worldwide.
