Could also be a Medical department collar design, though in most incarnations of Trek the uniforms are the same as those of other departments.

I think Reno just likes a more casual look.
You guys are awesome. I never even noticed the zippers or that they were doing it. Sometimes I wish I had that eye for minutiae.
Different departments have different needs. Have a medical one with a collar that secures across the neck would prevent exposure across in the event of fluids. Many lap coats nowadays have a neck closure to manage exposure.
With the positive reception of season 5 of Discovery, Strange New Worlds will now dedicate an entire season to the aliens that Archer pissed off when Porthos pissed on their lawn, and Lower Decks will dedicate an entire season to why breaking warp 10 turns you into a salamander.
TBF even 24th century uniforms were shown to have truly invisible fasteners; they even made alterations to the pullover of the two-piece hero uniform Michelle Forbes was wearing in Ensign Ro so that she could open it on the front, take it off and give it to a refugee girl instead of having to pull it over her head. No wonder 32nd century uniforms could be opened wherever the wearer wants them to.
There's also the possibility that Culber's is like that because he's the CMO, and gets a special variant. Sort of like how we saw McCoy wear his short sleeve uniform much more often on the Enterprise than the regular one. Or how Kirk has his wraparound variant, or Picard got his variant starting with season 5's "Darmok". Picard and Sisko also seem to get an extra vest underneath their uniform with the FIRST CONTACT/later DS9 uniforms.
Raynor's jacket, when unzipped, also kept the collar insignia in one piece on the right like Culber's, and IIRC we've seen Burnham's (and maybe others) do the same. The outlier seems to be Reno's split insignia so she can keep the zip down a little.
A reminder that we’re continuing our Trek/sci-fi/everything zoom discussions this Saturday, from 9-11 PM BST (that’s 4-6 PM EDT in the US), link posted in the thread in the General Trek forum at the time of the event. All are welcome, nothing is recorded, and you can come and go as you please. It’s a pretty good mix of people from many parts of the world with diverse opinions. Come check it out!
OK, I´m probably reaching for connections but the name of L´ak reminds of certain Asari. Also, it is improbable butI´ m starting to think that him being of unknown species might mean he is somehow more directly connected to Progenitors so there will be giant twist he was just chasing his rightful heritage all along.
Well yes, I've been saying that.

If TNG was the closest he got, then Discovery has been the closest since.

I thought Pollard was CMO.
Why does everyone keep thinking that? She's the lowest ranking medical officer we've seen on the show.
Kurtzman on quality over quantity and no filler in the streaming era.

There's definitely still filler!
I welcome the attempt to try and avoid some filler, though all streaming shows struggle with that, in my view. At least 10 episodes is easier to enjoy and keep up with.
