How will legislation on genetic engineering, cloning and animal experimentation change once the UK leaves the EU? What roles do scientific advice and public opinion play when considering policies where these viewpoints might oppose one another – for example the banning of GM crops? How will the merger of the nine current UK Research Councils into the new UK Research and Innovation affect the funding and delivery of novel research? These are just a few questions that were asked at this year's Voice of the Future event in Parliament.
