Many Infoboxes can take another template, including another infobox, as a module (or child-, or sub-template).
Converting an Infobox
In order to be used as a module, an infobox must have a few adaptations, including modified styling, the suppression of the template's name display, and a the addition of a subheading. Here is an example adaptation; results shown above; note the "Scientific career" subheading).
Infobox person
{{tl|Infobox person can have another biographical infobox (or infoboxes = up to six slots are available) as a nodule. Those available are listed in Category:Biographical templates usable as a module (NB may not yet be fully populated). See, for example, this edit using {{Infobox scientist}} as the child template (results shown alongside).
Infobox person can also take other child templates, for example, {{Listen}}. See this example.
