# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born December 5, 1932, Sheldon Lee Glashow built his career in theoretical physics working on the deepest architecture of matter. Alongside Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg, he developed the theory unifying weak and electromagnetic interactions between elementary particles, work that included predicting the weak neutral current before experiments confirmed it. The Nobel committee honored the trio in 1979. Glashow has held chairs at Harvard, where he's now an emeritus Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, and currently teaches as the Metcalf Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Boston University. He also serves on the board of sponsors for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
