Tip for students contacting potential advisors about graduate school in paleontology - probably not a great idea to tell me that you'd rather do dinosaurs but my "boring" plant fossils are ok I guess and that you probably wouldn't get bored or uninterested in your first email to me.

My student, Evan Cerna presenting at #2025SVP on a new Cretaceous dinosaur trackway in the Glen Rose Formation in central Texas!

What do we know about the last surviving dinosaurs, living right before the asteroid? And is Nanotyrannus a tiny tyrannosaur species or juvenile T. rex? Lindsay Zanno & I talk through the big questions with Ira Flatow on today's @scifri.bsky.social ! www.sciencefriday.com/segments/din...

Had the pleasure of working on the press release image for this groundbreaking research!

New dates on fossils from New Mexico reveal a community of dinosaurs that were thriving right before the asteroid strike, including 80-foot-long, 30-ton giants like Alamosaurus. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo. 🧪

Our new paper is out in @science.org #ScienceResearch Our understanding of the dinosaurs at the very end of the Cretaceous is limited by few localities. What dinosaur biogeographic patterns were present leading up the K/Pg boundary? What can these tell us about end Cretaceous dinosaur communities

Something explosive is coming tomorrow... (Science by Andrew Flynn and team; art by @nataliajagielska.bsky.social )

Looking for a graduate program in paleobotany, paleoclimatology, and/or terrestiral sedimentology? Attending #GSA2025 next week? Please reach out so we can chat! Recruiting MS students for Fall 2026 for projects focused on the late Cretaceous - early Paleogene of western North America.

Thanks to @smithsonianmag.bsky.social for highlighting the Fossil Pollen collection at NMNH and the research we are developing with this collection Meet the Scientist Digitizing Millions of Fossilized Pollen Grains to Reveal Earth’s Climate History - smithsonianmag.com/blogs/nation...

I am recruiting MS students to join my research group at New Mexico State University starting Fall of 2026! Any students interested in late Cretaceous-early Paleogene fossil plants, terrestrial paleoclimate, Earth surface processes, or magnetostratigraphy, please reach out! www.andrewgflynn.com

Rainy but productive day collecting Paleocene - Eocene fossil leaves out of the lower San Jose Formation in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico. Also found some super cool soft sediment deformation and sedimentary structures!

Day two of collecting earliest Eocene plants from the lower San Jose Formation in the San Juan Basin. Found lots of legumes including some attached!

Successful day collecting earliest Eocene fossil plants from the lower San Jose Formation in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico!
