      What a topical question! I want to stay in Europe. A lot of researchers in the UK are from Europe, as is much of the research funding, so that is one reason why I want to stay in.

      Hello — great question and incredibly timely being that we are going to be voting very soon. Myself and a lot of people who work in the field of research and also within the National Health Service in the UK really want us to stay in Europe. By staying, we have the opportunity to access funding for research and also spread the treatment load across Europe.
      It also means researchers and medical experts have the opportunity to travel freely in Europe to learn and share new techniques and technologies without additional costs and paper work of visas, travel documents, etc.
      Those are my reasons for wanting to stay in Europe. I know there are people who think otherwise, and they are entitled to their opinions too.
