It is difficult to judge these adjectives without knowing the noun to which they apply. Vaguely, I suggest that 'culture smartness' is the ability to understand, use and react appropriately to the culture/society, while 'science intelligence' is the ability to use data and scientific tools and methods. How they might be related here, however, I do not know.
