Reference excerpt

Liudvika Laima Griciūtė (15 April 1926 – 3 November 2018) was a Lithuanian oncologist and habilitated Doctor of Biomedical Sciences.

Biography In 1941 Griciūtė and her parents were forcefully displaced to Altai Krai, Sakha Republic, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. Following her return to Lithuania in 1946 she studied at the Kaunas University medical faculty. In 1950 she was a student at the Kaunas Medical Institute. From 1952 to 1955, she undertook a doctoral program at the Leningrad Institute of Oncology. In 1955 she defended her candidate thesis in medical sciences and in 1966 her medical sciences doctoral thesis on „Eksperimentiniai plaučių navikai“ (Experimental lung tumors). In 1989 she was awarded with a professor title. In 1955 Griciūtė worked as an ordinary at the Republican Oncology Dispensary. In 1956 she was a junior research fellow at the Leningrad Institute of Oncology. From 1957 to 1974, Griciūtė was in charge of the Institute's pathological morphology laboratory. In 1967, she did a one-year internship at the Institut du Radium laboratory of genetics. In 1974 Griciūtė participated in an international expedition on the research of environmental carcinogens in Iran. From 1974 to 1980, she was the head of the Environmental Carcinogens Division of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon. In 1988, she became a member of the Agency's Scientific Council. After her return to Lithuania in 1980 Griciūtė worked as a deputy director at the Epidemiology, Microbiology and Hygiene Institute in Vilnius. From 1982 to 1990, she had several different positions, including being the director of the Oncology Research Institute, the Chief Oncologist at the Ministry of Health, the chairman of the Oncology Scientific Society, and a member of the Cancer Registry Council of the Lithuanian SSR. From 1990 to 1993, Griciūtė was in charge of the Oncology Center's Environmental Carcinogens Laboratory. From 1993 to 1999, she was the Oncology Center's deputy director for science. In 2002 Griciūtė was awarded with a Lithuanian Science Prize.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Laima Griciūtė

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Laima Griciūtė claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Laima Griciūtė before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Laima Griciūtė ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Laima Griciūtė

In research: Laima Griciūtė appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Laima Griciūtė in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Laima Griciūtė is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1926 births, 2018 deaths, 20th-century Lithuanian educators, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Laima Griciūtė outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
