Sylvia Branzei hat das Konzept der „Grossologie“ maßgeblich geprägt und die Wissenschaft durch faszinierende „eklige“ Themen zu einem fesselnden Bildungswerkzeug gemacht. Ihr Ansatz beruht auf der Überzeugung, dass der beste Weg, die Neugier junger Menschen zu wecken, darin besteht, sich mit dem herrlich Abstoßenden zu beschäftigen. Branzei weicht von herkömmlichen Lehrmethoden ab und schafft stattdessen greifbare und hautnahe wissenschaftliche Erlebnisse, die bei Kindern auf einer grundlegenden Ebene Anklang finden. Ihre Arbeit erforscht die Faszination des Unappetitlichen, um die erstaunlichen wissenschaftlichen Prinzipien aufzudecken, die sich knapp unter der Oberfläche verbergen.
