Seasons are immaterial to the plants in the science lab as they are sheltered so grow no matter what season it is.

@jpkarlsen The plants in the building but the science lab has other resources they take at least 3-5 days to spawn, if you have seasons set to 7 days, your resources for the science career will be limited and won't be able to do other jobs that require resource collecting so you get the same job over and over again.

I fail to see what collecting metals, gems and alien globes have to do with seasons. They are readily available no matter the season.
If you have trouble getting enough plants I recommend you build a greenhouse at your sims home and grow them there.

@Sid1701d9 The crystals and metals dig sites respawn regularly. Quite quickly in fact. They actually spawn almost immediately, often even before I finish harvesting a group. Even if they aren't enough, you can also ask co-workers for metals and crystals.

Now the gardening bug is the biggest problem because they only spawn at 5am. I have a mod I made on MTS that changes your work hours to the graveyard shift so you are on the lot at 5am and they spawn again.

The only other bug I can think of off-hand is the "transform grass" bug. Which I also have a mod for on MTS.

I actually don't have any problems at all any longer with the Science career.

  Yeah, its one thing if you play in the desert environment there is a lot of crystal and metal sites, but they all look like dirt piles now after jungle adventure the spawns used to show what they had crystal dig piles would have crystal shards pointing out of them and gold dig piles had speckles of God dust showing through them. Now they all look like dig piles.

    There are several of these around the science lab. Their spawning are not tied to seasons.
