AI safety oncology work wins Best Poster at ANCO, but physician consortium sign-ups hit zero

The author won Best Poster at the ANCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, presenting the NOHARM study and follow-up work building an AI safety oncology benchmark. The trip's real goal—recruiting oncologists to the ARISE physician consortium—failed with zero sign-ups; a QR code in a busy poster hall proved too much activation energy. Advice for trainees: smaller conferences offer far better one-on-one time with field leaders.
