About Jamie
Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage shot roughly 248 episodes of the popular TV show MythBusters together. Over 1,000 myths turned out to be true or were busted. With spectacular experiments they investigated tall tales that sometimes surprised them by being true. It turns out elephants really are scared of mice and you can really test positive for drugs after eating poppy seed bread.
Thanks to their humorous approach to myth busting, they managed to captivate millions of people around the world and interest them in science, technology and conducting experiments.
Hyneman taught at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and is an honorary lifetime member of the California Science Teachers Association. He has held jobs as a diver, captain and concrete inspector, and now gives lectures at universities around the world in addition to his duties as the owner of M5 Industries, a company specialized in creating special and visual effects for films.
