Unusual vending machine with a real scientist was installed in Melbourne, Australia to help raise money for MS (Multiple Sclerosis) research.

Transparent mini laboratory in a vending machine was set up in a public area, featuring a coin slot on the front.

Inside sat a scientist, slumped and motionless, wearing a white lab coat.

Text reads: “Without your donation research will stop.” MS Laboratory.

When people inserted coins, the scientist “came to life,” sitting upright and performing visible science experiments.

Mixing liquids, handling lab equipment, and engaging in research, until the “funding” ran out…

Coin Operated Scientist cleverly visualized the importance of public donations for sustaining medical research.

What is the price of progress? A coin keeps scientist working for MS research.

People lined up to keep a scientist “alive” by donating coins for MS research. The message? Science needs constant support.

Without funding, science stops. Literally. Melbourne stunt put a scientist in a glass box who only worked when people donated.
