Sir Adrian Smith

President of The Royal Society, Institute Director and Chief Executive of the Alan Turing Institute

Will the government make up for lost EU science funding? Will top scientists will be drawn to top ranking UK universities regardless? Or will talented Europeans decide that if they are going to travel they might as well go to the US, now that the UK has erected barriers? And could immigration restrictions have the same effect on Asian undergraduates?
