If it wasn’t evident from the above, the orca is the main logo
of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team, who recently lost to
the Vegas Golden Knights.

I do have some scientific expertise including in acoustics
and signal processing, and the Orca Hot Foot experience I
describe on http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/orca.html
is an extra motivation for me to help orcas, since while
it was partly a recognition of me. it was partly a call for
help from at least one captive orca, and I haven’t really lived
up to that call yet (I didn’t even email Canadian Senators
before their vote to ban future cetacean captivity in Canada
a while ago).

However since I have no background yet in cetacean research,
it will probably be hard for me to get a postdoctoral fellowship
in the subject.
