ZIT’s Fun, enGROSSing, and S’NOT to be Missed!
PharmaChoice sponsors Grossology at the Discovery Centre

Boogers, snots, body odour and other “impolite” bodily functions are the topics of Discovery Centre’s newest exhibit – Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body. The Discovery Centre, and presenting sponsor Pharmachoice, is hosting this colourful, hands-on exhibit that uses humour to teach kids about health, the body and biology.

“We expect Grossology to be one of the most entertaining exhibits we’ve had at the Discovery Centre in many years,” said Dov Bercovici, CEO and President of Discovery Centre. “Based on the wildly popular children’s book by Sylvia Branzei, this exhibit addresses all the questions about the body that children want answers to but have been told they are not polite to ask.”

Grossology uses animatronics along with humour and hands-on elements to learn about the human body. It features 10 interactive stations in three main sections – The Nose, The Gut and Other Stuff – designed to teach visitors the good, the bad and the downright ugly about runny noses, vomiting, bad breath, belching and much more. This science-in-disguise exhibit explores all things sticky, stinky and oozy.

“As community pharmacies, PharmaChoice is focused on providing health advice for life and regardless of their age, assisting our patients to take care of their bodies. This is the perfect fit for us,” said Dwayne Boudreau, Director of Marketing for PharmaChoice. “We’re thrilled to be both supporting this exhibit and the Discovery Centre, as we believe in their mandate to teach young people about science and health.”

The exhibit is open to the public and will be on display at Discovery Centre until May 2012.
