In the past I have distributed live CD's from Knoppix or Morphix during some conferences, to promote the software I was working on. I think in general the 'Science' software has a very (probably too) wide spectrum of interests to build such a live CD. An other suggestion might be to extend the live-magic program to make it possible to select and include your own packages from the Debian repository. This might be more flexible and anybody can include his own set of (science) packages.
