Richard Ngo — Education: PhD candidate, University of Cambridge

NoteThe claim states Richard Ngo is a 'PhD candidate' at University of Cambridge. The source shows he was a 'PhD student' at University of Cambridge from 2020–2021. The source data appears to be from April 2021 (when he joined OpenReview) and has not been updated since then. The career history shows his PhD studentship ended in 2021, meaning he is no longer a PhD candidate as of the source's last update. The claim uses present tense ('is a PhD candidate'), but the source indicates this status was only valid through 2021. This is a temporal mismatch: the claim appears to assert current status, but the source shows a past role that ended over 3 years ago. Additionally, 'PhD student' and 'PhD candidate' are slightly different terms, though both refer to doctoral study—'candidate' typically implies advancement to candidacy, while 'student' is more general. The source does not confirm he advanced to candidacy or that he is currently in this role.
