Is there any way to use the logistics network to make the assemblers stop producing Science Packs when your research labs are not running (obviously excepting stoppages due to lack of Science Packs)?

Use a smart inserter to remove science packs from the assembling machine, and set the logistic condition science pack < 10.

So I would have to eliminate all belts carrying Science Packs, since these are not accounted for in the logistic netaork?

You have to include a logistic chest somewhere along the line. Whether you want to feed it with belts or bots is up to you.

Seems to be working decently, I had to learn how to logistic to do it and am still pretty vague about it, but it was a good learning exercise. Until now I had only used construction bots.
