“Shardule was a true pleasure to work with. He is thoughtful, collaborative, and extremely responsive. He pulled together a team of at least 10 others to start up and run a new study at my site, and his organizational skills and kind personality were instrumental to that study’s success. He regularly sought feedback about what he or his team could do better for us, but his high standards and excellent communication meant that we could do our part easily without any concerns. Shardule was a wonderful resource to me throughout our work together and would be an asset to any team. ”
