   THe Vancouver Canucks have the orca as their main logo.   
      
   Unfortunately they recently lost their series against the Vegas   
   Golden Knights. I think they would have better luck if   
   they donated more (or some?) money in support of the Southern   
   Resident orca pods, maybe including some to me for research into   
   cetacean communication :-) though that would require me   
   to do some work (not that my four components magickal stuff   
   isn’t work of sorts).   
      
   By the way, I heard on the radio that J35 has had a new calf.   
   (J35 is the orca mother who carried the dead body of her last   
   calf for a long period after its death a while ago.)   
      
   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.
