Bad news for science.
My fiancé has part of her microbiology research funded by EU money. Still no idea what will happen to it. Though I would suspect that, a few caveats aside, funding will continue as the UK has one of, if not the largest science base in the EU in terms of people, output and relatively liberal legislation. I'm sure a way will be found to continue the cash for investment, it just depends on what we have to give so to speak in return.
I feel like as an ex researcher in local UK politics and an accountant I should have more to say about this whole topic, but I just don't. Sure everything will be fine eventually.
