Reference excerpt

Włodzimierz Stanisław Korohoda (1 January 1937 – 24 April 2026) was a Polish cell biologist and swimmer.

Life and career The son of Jerzy Korohoda, father of Jacek Korohoda. He attended the Bartłomiej Nowodoworski High School in Kraków. From 1948, he competed in swimming in the Cracovia Sports Club. From 1951, he represented Kraków, simultaneously holding the Polish junior and youth champion and record in all breaststroke distances. Korohoda graduated in biology from the Jagiellonian University in 1959. In 1957 he started working at the Department of Plant Physiology headed by Jan Zurzycki. He obtained doctorate in 1963. In 1965 he received a scholarship from The British Council of The Chester Beatty Royal Institute of Cancer Research in London. He obtained habilitation in 1971. In 1972 he obtained a scholarship at the Institute of Cytology and Micromorphology at the University of Bonn under the supervision of W. Stockem. From 1979 he was head of the Department of Cell Biology at the Institute of Molecular Biology of the Jagiellonian University; from 1981 to 1984 as its director. He researched on the role of the cell surface complex and the cytoplasmic cytoskeleton in the regulation of cell movement, growth and differentiation. He co-authored more than 120 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. He supervised twenty one doctoral dissertations. In 1991 he was elected a member of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences. Korohoda died on 24 April 2026, at the age of 89.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Włodzimierz Korohoda

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Włodzimierz Korohoda claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Włodzimierz Korohoda 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 Włodzimierz Korohoda 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 Włodzimierz Korohoda

In research: Włodzimierz Korohoda appears in biology 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 Włodzimierz Korohoda 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: Włodzimierz Korohoda is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1937 births, 2026 deaths, Academic staff of Jagiellonian University, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Włodzimierz Korohoda 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.
