Sylvia Branzei pionierde het concept van 'grossologie', waarbij de studie van wetenschap via onsmakelijke onderwerpen werd omgevormd tot een boeiend educatief hulpmiddel. Haar benadering is geworteld in de overtuiging dat de meest effectieve manier om nieuwsgierigheid bij jonge geesten aan te wakkeren, is door het heerlijk walgelijke te verkennen. Branzei gaat verder dan conventionele onderwijsmethoden en creëert praktische en tastbare wetenschappelijke ervaringen die op een fundamenteel niveau aansluiten bij kinderen. Haar werk duikt in de aantrekkingskracht van het groteske om de verbazingwekkende wetenschappelijke principes te onthullen die net onder de oppervlakte verborgen liggen.
