Macho the Rooster who provided PTH antibody

Family, friends & colleagues gathered to celebrate the life of Eduardo Slatopolsky, Professor Emeritus @washunephrology.bsky.social, who passed away earlier this year. Even Macho the Rooster was there! Many memories, anecdotes and colorful tales were shared. Eduardo, you are sorely missed.
