This is a very arrogant statement.
It would be if science was just starting out, or was really small or something. But, well, science is pretty big. Kind of world-encompassing big. Bigger than America's Got Talent.

Building a language barrier will not provide the financial support you need now and in the future
Again, this is very good advice... for a small group that is starting out and trying to gain a foothold. Science is not starting out, and they already have footholds... pretty much everywhere. Science isn't a small company, it's a part of life, everyone's life, yours too. Think really big. Bigger than Oprah.
If you cannot properly communicate your research for the general public to comprehend, how are you going to promote an interest in your accomplishments?
Science has already promoted an interest in it's accomplishments. Like that computer you're using, the car you drive, any museum you've ever heard of, even the food you eat. Science isn't really looking for any more "promotion". It's good. Remember, really, really big. Bigger than McDonalds.
