Not good for UK science
Since the crash UK science funding has been hard to get & EU funding has been a valuable extra option for people to apply to.
If brexit happens then I doubt the UK gov will magic up cash to replace EU loss.
Even "very worthy" areas of research that may benefit us all such as those with potential to understand more about cancer causation / spread struggle for cash as there's lots of researchers but a small cash pile.
SInce the crash, a lot of UK university science researchers have felt the pinch & have been doing less research as far more cash limited
AC as although I;m not in cancer research some of my friends are
Biting the hand that feeds IT
