How about 'visualization' or, even more generic, 'scientific'? I'm not
sure, but I feel that there might not be that many bio programs; however,
there are probably a lot of visualization tools, and even more scientific
ones.
The more categories we have, the harder it gets to look for software one
might use to solve a particular problem. Also, introducing many highly
specialized categories ('physics', 'chemistry', ...) will make the list of
categories even longer, and I think it is fairly long already.
