Sylvia Branzei a été pionnière du concept de « grossologie », transformant l'étude de la science à travers des sujets peu ragoûtants en un outil éducatif attrayant. Son approche repose sur la conviction que le moyen le plus efficace d'éveiller la curiosité chez les jeunes esprits est d'explorer le délicieusement répugnant. Branzei va au-delà des méthodes d'enseignement conventionnelles, créant des expériences scientifiques pratiques et viscérales qui résonnent auprès des enfants à un niveau fondamental. Son travail explore l'attrait du grotesque pour révéler les principes scientifiques étonnants cachés juste sous la surface.
