Nonsense – science is universal. Marie Curie was French and look at the work she did.

At least three of the five of us in this zone aren’t English, so the conclusion to draw from the evidence in front of us is that the majority of scientists aren’t English 😉

If your question is not “Do you need to be English?” but “Do you need to speak English?”, then the answer is that it isn’t mandatory, but it is extremely helpful. Lots of research units work in English even in other places – for example, I know people working in Switzerland who don’t speak French or German and in Thailand who don’t speak Thai but who do international science in English. That said – if I lived in a non-English speaking country, I’d want to learn the language as well as I could manage.
