Sylvia Branzei fue pionera del concepto de 'grossología', transformando el estudio de la ciencia a través de temas poco apetitosos en una herramienta educativa atractiva. Su enfoque se basa en la creencia de que la forma más eficaz de despertar la curiosidad en las mentes jóvenes es explorando lo deliciosamente desagradable. Branzei va más allá de los métodos de enseñanza convencionales, creando experiencias científicas prácticas y viscerales que conectan con los niños a un nivel fundamental. Su trabajo profundiza en el atractivo de lo grotesco para revelar los asombrosos principios científicos ocultos justo debajo de la superficie.
