      I think we should stay. But I don’t know that much about politics or economy.

      Based on what I’ve read, my opinion is that we should stay. I also have several friends that might have to leave the UK, where they have lived for several years paying taxes and being fine upstanding members of society, if we leave the EU.

      I think it’s very important for UK science that we should stay in the EU. The EU gives the UK lots of money to do science, and allows collaboration between universities and scientists across borders.

      Personally, I think my career will progress much faster if we stay in the EU.
