I took a philosophy of science class as an undergrad that was really good, and attracted folks from a wide variety of STEM majors (tho the philosophy prof didn’t really know enough science for some of the discussions he was leading and managed to logically disprove his own platforms several times..)

It got me into stuff like metaphysics, which was both freeing and terrifying. Especially for someone who is into neuroscience..

Neuroscience and metaphysics is definitely a combo...

When I was in undergrad our school had a ecology-philosophy ethics committee and I've taken classes with all the profs involved as a zoology major. Philosophy of Biology was definitely one of my favourite class I've taken. The way everything clicks together neatly and adding to each other is so satisfying.
