Re: Bug#361418: Debian menu and the Apps/Science section

I actually find splitting "Science" a good idea.

I did a little research and came up with this list of possible
subsections, along with example fields they cover:

Astronomy
 * Astrodynamics
 * Astronomy
 * Astrophysics
 * Cosmology
 * Radio astronomy

Biology
 * Anatomy
 * Bioinformatics
 * Botany
 * Ecology
 * Genetics

Chemistry
 * Analytical chemistry
 * Biochemistry
 * Inorganic chemistry
 * Materials science
 * Organic chemistry

Geoscience
 * Geodesy
 * Geography
 * Geology
 * Hydrology
 * Meteorology

Medicine
 * Anatomy
 * Dermatology
 * Gynecology
 * Immunology
 * Neurology

Physics
 * Acoustics
 * Cryogenics
 * Dynamics
 * Mechanics
 * Nuclear physics

Social
 * Anthropology
 * Demography
 * Economics
 * Geography
 * Law

We also have "Electronics", "Engineering", and "Mathematics" that are
somewhat subject to discussion, but could also go into "Science",
depending on how broad your definition of "Science" is.

I did not include "Education", because I do not consider this section
appropriate for "Science". It is more likely to contain quizzes,
student-tracking software etc., rather than something an expert is
likely to use.
