I’m not even sure what you are trying to say here, science and empathy are 2 very different things. This is a very oversimplified version, but science should only be about answering if assumptions we have are true or false, based on enough evidence.

I’ve seen a lot of the counter balance to this which is STEM folk not having respect for the humanities, rendering them empathetically underdeveloped.

Yeah the whole “STEM” thing is dumb and anti-science. This corny meme implies that philosophy majors becomes flat-earthers. It’s a great example of the STEM mindset.
STEM is just a product.

No, most philosophy majors still believe in gravity. While flat-earthers cease to believe in gravity once they realize that a flat earth is incompatible with gravity. They replace it with this notion that the earth disc (and the rest of the system) is accelerating upwards through the void at 9.8 m/s^2.
Though I’ve come across some interdisciplinary studies types who would probably argue that gravity is a social construct because we describe it with language.
