I'm a scientist. I'm at conference this second, in fact. Plenty of people are wearing suits.
Also, lab coats in lab make sense. You don't to spill acids or solvents on an expensive suit. You also want to be mobileoso you can reach into hard to access machines and spaces. A suit is not practical for mobility.

At a conference there is a 50% chance I will wear a suit, but back at work on a regular day I am in jeans and a T-shirt which makes me very slightly underdressed compared to my peers. A conference is more similar to a job interview which is the one time that even scientists get dressed up.
