Science is not an organisation.

Science is a certain method to find things out.

This method is conducted by people, which are often organised into such 
organisations.

Most prominent examples are universities, where professors (and others) 
conduct some sort or research.

These profesors investigate problems of interest by what is called 
'scientific method'.

If they find something interesting, they publish it in a scientific 
newspaper (today mainly on the internet).

The university itself is not really involved in this process, even if 
the institution hires and houses professors, because organisations do 
not conduct scientific research.

This is something only an entity with a brain can do, hence people can 
and organisations can't.

Well, that's theory only, because some universities claim, that the 
scientific discoveries of their professors are theirs.

In Germany, where I live, the situation is slightly different to e.g. 
the USA, because the organisations do not own the results, while in the 
USA they mainly do.

In Germany the professors are therefore more aware of the scientific 
method, while in the USA they are more aware of the requirements of 
their employer.
