If you're talking "Environmental Science", Psychological, Ecology (arguably), Sociology, or even fucking Psychiatry, sure, but I can assure you, "hard" biology VERY MUCH still relies on empirical evidence and inductive logic. We just have to wrap it in layman's terms for both the plebs and the politicians...
That's why I used the caveat of somewhere in (the very large field of) biology. Not sure where the line is exactly, but it's somewhere around there that things start to fall apart.
Also, "science communications" (my specific area of interest) gets a bit "woo"-like, at times, because we have to deal/communicate with normies, and make the science "interesting" and "accessible"...
Also kids. Kids don't care about "empiricism". They just wanna see cool shit/shit get blown up/catch fire, etc... As I'm sure you're probably aware.
Environmental science. Environmental science is the line you are looking for...
Debatably ecology. But environmental science is where the "woo" comes in...
Source: my ex studied environmental science, and I had to do some subjects in that area, too. "Introduction to Environmental Sustainability" was peak, compulsory, politicised "woo"... :-/
(Literal) Biologist here... That ain't quite it.

Don't diss biology too hard, bruh...
