Kelly begins by talking about her journey to UW-Madison, her reasons for working in pediatric medicine, her job duties in both her clinical and research capacities, and how she transitioned from entirely clinical to mostly research work. She discusses in depth the importance of family engagement in pediatric healthcare and elaborates on her research, also describing the use of tablets to provide parents with information about their child’s health. Other topics include the impact of technology and AI on her work, effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy in parents, notable mentors, and her reaction to winning an Academic Staff Award. This interview was conducted for inclusion into the Academic Staff Award Winners project of the UW-Madison Archives & Records Management oral history collection
Awhiowhio Kelly 2007
No full textGenus Awhiowhio Kelly, 2007 Type species. Awhiowhio osheai Kelly, 2007. Definition. Massive cup- or plate-shaped Corallistidae. Choanosomal megascleres are smooth nodulose dicranoclones with spires of smooth nodules, forming very robust intricate zygoses with ‘trabeculae’ through the entire mass. Ectosomal spicules are smooth dichotriaenes. Choanosomal microscleres are small fine-rayed streptaster/ spirasters. Ectosomal microscleres are irregular acanthose micropolyrhabds or irregular nodulose spirasters (Kelly 2007).Published as part of Dias, Alan, Kelly, Michelle & Pinheiro, Ulisses, 2023, Two news species of Corallistidae (Porifera; Demospongiae; Tetractinellida) with a first record of Awhiowhio from the Atlantic, pp. 182-192 in Zootaxa 5277 (1) on page 187, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5277.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/789318
Tsitsikamma Samaai & Kelly 2002
No full textGenus Tsitsikamma Samaai & Kelly 2002 Type species. Tsitsikamma favus Samaai & Kelly, 2002: 729 Diagnosis. Semispherical, pedunculate, or encrusting Latrunculiidae with a smooth surface covered with large cylindrical or volcanoshaped oscules and raised fungiform areolate porefields. Colour in life is dark liver brown to dark turquoise, or pinkish brown. Texture is extraordinarily tough and leathery. Megascleres are styles, microscleres are isochiadiscorhabds. A choanosome permeated with rigid honeycomblike chambers visible to the unaided eye, surrounding a much softer interior with wispy tracts, or a single purselike chamber with softer interior, characterises this genus. Microscleres are present in an irregular palisade on the surface ectosome and lining the internal tracts (modified from Samaai & Kelly, 2002).Published as part of Samaai, Toufiek, Gibbons, Mark J., Kelly, Michelle & Davies-Coleman, Mike, 2003, South African Latrunculiidae (Porifera: Demospongiae: Poecilosclerida): descriptions of new species of Latrunculia du Bocage, Strongylodesma Lévi, and Tsitsikamma Samaai & Kelly, pp. 1-26 in Zootaxa 371 on page 19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15690

Cyclacanthia bellae Samaai & Kelly 2003
No full textCyclacanthia bellae (Samaai & Kelly, 2003) (Figs. 2 F, 3 A, E–F, 4 A) Latrunculia bellae Samaai & Kelly, 2003: 14, Fig. 3 C, 4 D, 5 D. Holotype. BMNH 2003.1.10.1: Ryi Banks, Algoa Bay, South east South Africa. Paratype. SAM H 4963: Ryi Banks, Algoa Bay, South east South Africa. Description (modified from Samaai et al., 2003). Thinly encrusting sponge, 5 mm thick in life, surface crowded with very small conical oscules and numerous thinlipped craterlike areolate porefields (Fig. 3 A). Compressible in life, slightly felty to the touch, emerald green in life, dark chocolate brown internally and in preservative. The sponges were collected from a moderately rugged rocky bottom with patches of sand between rocks, on Ryi Banks, Algoa Bay, southeastern South Africa, at 10– 22 m. Spicules. Megascleres— Styles: Smooth, hastate, centrally thickened straight or slightly sinuous styles, 364 (319–400) long x 12 m wide (Fig 4 A). Microscleres— Acanthose isospinodiscorhabds: The median whorl is composed of four groups of discrete spines distributed evenly around the shaft, the spines of the manubrium and apical whorl are slanted obliquely from the median whorl and the spines are orientated at different angles within each whorl. A single spike protrudes from the apex and base of the spicule, all spines are markedly acanthose, 46 (44–51) m long (Fig. 2 F). Skeleton. Large dense swathes of megascleres, 230–250 m wide, emerge from the base of the sponge towards the upper choanosome, where they diverge to form loose brushes and a whispy polygonal reticulation of tracts c. 60–180 m wide, forming a mesh c. 230 m wide (Fig. 3 F). Interstitial megascleres and microscleres are abundant. The ectosome of tangentially arranged styles is c. 320 m thick, and is aligned by an irregular palisade of densely packed isospinodiscorhabds (Fig. 3 E). Remarks. While Samaai et al. (2003) considered C. bellae (Samaai & Kelly) to be unique amongst South African Latrunculiidae, they did not consider the combination of characters that this species displayed to be sufficient evidence for the erection of a new genus until further species were discovered. The discovery of two additional species has now justified this action. The isospinodiscorhabds of C. bellae (Samaai & Kelly) (Fig. 2 F) are superficially similar to the isoconicodiscorhabds of the North Atlantic latrunculid genus Sceptrella (Fig. 2 C) in that they both have whorls of discrete spines grouped in an irregular distribution around the shaft (‘furcate spines’ of Samaai & Kelly, 2002), and these microscleres are both secondarily spinose. The key difference is that in the isospinodiscorhabds of Cyclacanthia sp. nov., the subsidiary whorl is absent in all three known species. The morphology of the isospinodiscorhabds is in fact more similar to the isochiadiscorhabds of Tsitsikamma. While the mature microscleres differ considerably in their overall morphology (the microscleres of Tsitsikamma bear three regular whorls of apically spined tubercules (Fig. 2 B), the subsidiary whorl in both types of microscleres is absent, and the ontogenetic pathways of both are similar. Moreover, species in both genera have thick tracts or swathes of megascleres in addition to the typically whispy polygonal reticulation of other Latrunculiidae (Samaai & Kelly 2002; Samaai et al., 2003). The phylogenetic implications of the similarities between Cyclacanthia sp. nov. and Tsitsikamma will be considered in the final discussion of this work. The primary character of C. bellae (Samaai & Kelly), that is diagnostic at the species level, is the overall morphology of the microsclere, the design and geometry of the spines in the various whorls on the microsclere, the degree and nature of ornamentation of the spines, and the basal choanosomal architecture (Table 1).Published as part of Samaai, Toufiek, Govender, Vasha & Kelly, Michelle, 2004, Cyclacanthia n. g.
