THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY & BREXIT

There seems to be a conflicting view about what brexit means for science and scientific research in the UK. Brexit Central carried a piece by someone from Cambridge who says (HERE) remainers shouldn't panic and brexit is an opportunity.

Meanwhile the House of Lords has produced a report following extensive research and they conclude brexit is already having a corrosive effect on science sector (HERE). While the report admits there is no direct evidence so far that scientists from the rest of the EU were choosing not to work in Britain following the vote for Brexit but found that "nervousness about immigration and nationality persists in the science community".
