Well... yes. Everyone in Europe is more or less affected by the decision for the UK to leave.

My principle concern is that measures of accountancy will be used to decrease the budget of scientific funding in the UK, directly impacting not only my research programs, but also the likelihood that I continue to progress in academia. I've already been told that there is no hiring at my host institution for permanent positions for the foreseeable future partially because of Brexit, and this will govern my decisions going forward.

As for the rest? Who knows? The UK is a nation one step from collapsing to third world status at anytime given its demographics, geography, and wilful disregard for its continuing development.
