Science is a way to do research and not an organisation.

There are many organisations, however, which are created to conduct science.

But these organisations are by no means the only entities, which can 
conduct science.

I, for instance, am only one single person and not connected to any 
organisation, but conduct science.

Well, maybe, on 'science on ant-scale', but that is still science (at 
least meant to be).

Usually you are right. But every rule has exceptions.

Today science is certainly beyond the reach of common mortals. But this 
is not a law, but a requirement from the high level, which science has 
already reached.

Cooperation of large numbers of amateurs around the globe would 
eventually be a possibility. But individuals certainly have next to no 
chance at all.
