Conhost.exe is the console wrapper Windows uses for console based applications.

BOINC doesn't start it directly. When an application is launched, the Windows application loader determines what sub-system the application belongs to and then proceeds to launch the correct sub-system before launching the application.

In any case, it is a Windows thing. The science application would have to change its application type to a windowed application instead of a console application.
