I am thinking why Makise Kurisuu of SteinsGate / Zero is wearing a white suit.
She is a researcher at the Brain Science Institute at the University of Victor-Condoria, she seems to be doing research on information processing system, not clinical etc of brain surgery.
I tried looking for a photograph named "Brain Science Institute", but I have not found a researcher wearing a white coat - in general they wear private clothing.
I examined the purpose of white coat for a while, but I found that there is "function as sanitation, disaster prevention, uniform."
If so, I think that it is not necessary to limit it to "science, medical care" separately, and that white coats can be used in non-sections.

However, when I was a university, I disliked students of chemical seminars that came to eat meals for school lunch with white coat. They were going to walk around with white clothes group. I didn't know their intention.
So, I like Rintaro Okabe who is Steins Gate Zero, who has not wearing a white coat.
