While I was working on Mythbusters, I still needed a night job to pay the rent. I worked for a spirits distributer, giving out coupons, samples, and swag at clubs, bars, restaurants and once at a strip club(didn’t know it wasn’t just a bar🤦♀️) I even drove a Tanqueray wrapped Escalade all over the Bay. All the girls were studying to be doctors and lawyers or something fabulous. We all were scrapping to make ends meet. I appreciate the hustle it takes to make a dream happen. If you look close you might be able to tell that I had a cocktail dress under my coveralls so I could rush to my night gig.
When the world feels heavy I find small moments of joy to fill my heart. My good friend Jenny once reminded me- if you have a roof over your head, you know where your next meal is coming from and your family is safe; you have more than most of the world. I can count my blessings. Sending love out to you reading this and Ziggy is sending puppy kisses. ❤️ @jennybuccos
I have so many Polaroids from the Mythbusters years. They seem to be tucked away in books and boxes. Feels like a treasure hunt when I clean. If you like old memories, come join @torybelleci and I on the @mythfitspodcast Mythfitspodcast.com
Workout tips and motivation from trainer Ziggy.

And this isn’t even the money shot. Keep following me until I am allowed to tell you the details😘 If you can’t tell, this isn’t a stock flamethrower. I might just talk about this on @mythfitspodcast @opswat @newmexicotech #crashtestgirl #karibyron
MythBuster @therealkaribyron reminds us that science is a story waiting to be told. 🧠💭 Follow her steps to test your own stress-busting experiment, then share your results creatively. Because curiosity creativity = real discovery. #STEAMpower #WomenInScience
Silly Saturday girl.

I don’t have a Tik Tok account any longer. This isn’t me. Just FYI.

🚨 Major Announcement #2 — as teased last week! Last year, high school & college students joined @therealkaribyron and me—alongside @cosiscience, @tiesteach, and @stemnextopportunityfund—on Capitol Hill to present an idea we believed could reshape how America sees and supports STEM. That idea? A bill to establish #NationalSTEMWeek—a week to celebrate students, recognize educators, and engage industry to strengthen the STEM workforce of the future. The bill made it to Congress in 2024 but ran out of time for a vote. BUT IT’S BACK—and stronger. Huge thanks to Reps. Carey (R-OH) and Beatty (D-OH), and to Senators Ernst (R-IA) and Klobuchar (D-MN), for introducing the House and Senate versions of the bill. Their bi-partisan leadership is to be applauded! This isn’t just about a date on the calendar. It’s about spotlighting millions of students and educators, fueling innovation, and building the STEM talent pipeline this country needs to remain competitive and innovative! Conceived by us at @explr_media and brought to life with COSI – Center of Science and Industry, and 100 leading STEM orgs and businesses—we’re just getting started. To everyone who’s already raised their hand in support: THANK YOU. 👉 Track the bill: https://www.congress.gov/…/119th-congress/senate-bill/1070 📩 Want your organization to sign on? Let’s talk. PHOTO: Circa 1993 — Me representing NY as a delegate to Congressional Classroom, a national civic education program that brought high school students to D.C. for a weeklong deep dive into government and public policy. This opportunity was a life changing experience for me.

The STEMbassodors and speakers that showed up for the National STEM student champions inspired me. They are more than mentors and role models. Engaging in meaningful conversations and guiding the students with advice and support, they will have a profound impact on so many lives. STEM communicators are a special kind of human. I couldn’t be more grateful for @renegadescienceteacher @4cast4you @chemicalkim @hiphopscienceshow @inspectorplanet @jayfloresinspires @sirishabandla @4cast4you @jeremyshorr @bugible @hillarycoe @jayfloresinspires @acedurrani @tweetsoutloud @kevinjdebruin and Micheal Perl from @grantimaharafoundation #nationalstemfestival @explr_media 📸 @timhaber
