The Candidate of Sciences (Russian:кандидат наук, Kandidat nauk) is a first post-graduate scientific degree in some former Eastern Bloc countries, such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan which is awarded for original research that constitutes a significant contribution to a scientific field. The degree was first introduced in the USSR on January 13, 1934, by a decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. According to the UNESCOInternational Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), for purposes of international educational statistics Candidate of Sciences is equivalent to PhD.
However, in order to become a full Professor, a Doctor of Sciences degree is required, in the same way that the Habilitation is required in Germany, as well as the PhD dissertation and in some cases a second book in the United States and the United Kingdom. On the other hand, Immigration New Zealand places both Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences at "Level 10" (Doctors Level, which is the highest level there). Only holders of master's and specialist's degrees are eligible for Candidate of Sciences programs.

Why I Chose The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences: A PhD Candidate’s Story
PhD candidate Thomas Gardner chose to attend the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai because he was interested in studying translational research and the molecular mechanisms of disease. Thomas’ research is focused on how to stop the CMV virus (herpes virus) from infecting infants when still in their mother’s womb. Hear how the collaborative environment within the Microbiology Department and his mentor are helping his research.

What does YOUR candidate think of science?
Our politicians and political candidates often hold wacky opinions of science: EPA's chief Scott Pruitt recently said "science should never dictate policy". Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski opposed GE Salmon despite stringent scientific studies demonstrating it's safety. Texas Congressman Lamar Smith has been noted as “one of the worst climate change deniers in Congress”. Even President Trump falsely suggested that “there is no drought” in California, despite several years of confirmed drought conditions.

SUMMARY
=======
Kandidat nauk (Russian: Кандидат наук, literally "Candidate of Sciences") is the first of two doctoral level scientific degrees in some former Soviet countries. It is formally classified as UNESCO ISCED level 8, 'doctoral or equivalent', and is thus officially translated into English and other languages as Doctor of Philosophy (i.e. PhD) and recognised as such.
As in Germany, former Soviet countries have an additional doctoral degree, Doktor nauk (Доктор наук), which by official agreement is equivalent to habilitation and typically requires 10 years of original research after Kandidat nauk is attained.

Now, representatives in every state are being asked to declare THEIR views on Science, in the 10 question survey run by Science Debate.
Science Debate is calling for all House, Senate and Gubernatorial candidates running for office across parties to respond to 10 questions related to the greatest science policy challenges facing America.
Topics cover a wide range of issues from scientific integrity in policymaking to health, cyber security medicine and the environment.
Exec Director Sheril Kirshenbaum said: “Until we insist that candidates address science and technology policy when campaigning, we cannot expect them to do so once they’re in office.”

Over a series of invited technical talks, panel discussions, presentations by MIT-launched startups, and a view into MIT research with current graduate students, the event provided needs context and solution perspectives in the domains of sensing for the study of biology and for the care of humans in their environment.
The 2020 Symposium was sponsored by MIT.nano, MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), MIT Institute for Medical Engineering & Science (IMES), and MIT Clinical Research Center (CRC).

The Candidate of Sciences (Russian:кандидат наук, Kandidat nauk) is a first post-graduate scientific degree in some former Eastern Bloc countries, such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan which is awarded for original research that constitutes a significant contribution to a scientific field. The degree was first introduced in the USSR on January 13, 1934, by a decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. According to the UNESCOInternational Standard Classification of Education (ISCED), for purposes of international educational statistics Candidate of Sciences is equivalent to PhD.
However, in order to become a full Professor, a Doctor of Sciences degree is required, in the same way that the Habilitation is required in Germany, as well as the PhD dissertation and in some cases a second book in the United States and the United Kingdom. On the other hand, Immigration New Zealand places both Candidate of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences at "Level 10" (Doctors Level, which is the highest level there). Only holders of master's and specialist's degrees are eligible for Candidate of Sciences programs.
