The science part is tricky. I suppose most scientists would say there's evidence of absence but it could just be an absence of evidence, especially given that using the best cutting rate gear for scientific investigation is very hard to come by. Unless they have a wealthy backer to provide it (and that's not likely unless some profit is likely to be reaped from it) then one has to sign up for it and competition is fierce, and further discouraging use of a truly scientific investigation into the paranormal is that it's not seen as likely to yield anything conclusive (even if you use it to disprove it it's not likely to gain you glory or funding), and any positive results would have to be sufficiently intriguing to get others to investigate it in similar ways (and ego would likely thwart even that) as anomalies happen all the time (and are often seen as a malfunction of the instruments, observation, etc) and require multiple verification.
IOW, while science hasn't technically disproved an afterlife or similar phenomenon it has shown it to be unlikely by current scientific understanding.
Anyway, I'll share a little about my own personal experiences and perhaps what others have shared later.
