To the man who truly made science fun... We miss you. ❤️
Thank you Grant for your enthusiasm for all things engineering — you inspired so many of us.

We are heartbroken to hear this sad news about Grant. He was an important part of our Discovery family and a really wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.💔
#Mythbusters
star Grant Imahara taught us to lead a life fueled by curiosity, integrity, and generosity.
Today marks 5 years since the show's final episode and his legacy continues. Learn more about the work of the Grant Imahara Foundation here:

"It's not well known but I spent about a decade performing as C-3P0 for personal appearances and commercials for Lucasfilm. You’re encased in fiberglass, metal, and vinyl. You can barely see, hear, and breathe. And you can’t sit down." -

"I had just started as an intern for Jamie when MythBusters started filming. Their first episode was Jet Car, and I really wanted to go to the shoot but I had to work my restaurant night job. After my shift, I drove all night. TOTALLY worth it." --

#MYTHBUSTERS
EPISODE. From tonight through Jan. 3, it's 24 hours a day of MythBusters. Catch up on what you might have missed, and happy holidays!
Be happy there isn't smell-o-vision with this photo. The costume shop that we rented this dress from for the
#JamesBond
episode either didn't wash it or the BO was so toxic that the odor stained the fabric. Who said busting myths in an evening gown is glamorous? --

It's been 1.5 years since
@KariByron
took over our social media, so we thought it was about time she took over again! Stay tuned for her inside scoop all week.
Could the water heater in your basement turn into a ROCKET? Some of you already know the answer to this, but it'll still be fun to watch. For you others, fasten your seatbelt!
In case you need to calculate how many balloons it would take to get you airborne, we came up with one balloon per 10g. So ... a lot. I loved the claws and fashioned a pair of my own in a later episode. I have a Wolverine thing. Yes, I still have the claws, wink. --
@KariByron
This is one of my favorite memories. Goofing around off camera with
@ToryBelleci
and
@grantimahara
at the runway. Thank goodness Tory didn't try to jump the bike this time. --

It's the holidays, and for a lot of people, that can mean drinking alcohol. So what's the BEST way to sober up? We explored some common alcohol-related myths; here are our conclusions.
We hope you're enjoying the

It's funny, the photos you find when digging around the
