Brexit worries UK’s science community

More than 70 percent of people in Cambridge voted to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum.

Britain’s looming exit from the European Union is worrying the United Kingdom‘s science community, who say it’s scaring off students and academics who’d normally come to study and teach.

Many at the University of Cambridge remain hopeful that Brexit can somehow still be avoided. With less than a month to go, they know that time is running out.
