Pomona attracts a bigger percentage of students who want to do math or science than any liberal arts college not named Harvey Mudd or Lafayette. (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/1270318-lacs-most-science-majors.html) The science offerings at Pomona are slightly bigger than at Williams: it has Molecular Biology and Neuroscience departments, for instance. Of the 10 most popularly declared majors at Pomona, 7/10 are in a STEM field, and 1 of the 3 not in a STEM field can be made into a science interdisciplinary (EA). The offerings at Harvey Mudd expand options, such as mathematical biology and engineering. The summer undergraduate research program is perhaps the largest per capita of any school in the country, with over 420 students participating in the summers of 2012 and 2013.

I’ve also been to both schools and Pomona has the better renovated science facilities.
