Good. There isn’t a single scientific organization, given the whole point of science is democratizing information research.

General populace are supposed to rely on the top researchers in their field to disseminate information. These top researchers are usually the least controversial which is why they are trusted by the (again) democratized scientific community. I’ll say this because a lot of people don’t realize it: if you have any controversy in your past regarding misinformation or “fixing” results, and it ever gets out, you are immediately shunned and your work will never be looked at seriously again. You will lose your job and all credibility immediately. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but it is heavily discouraged.

If we want to combat misinformation we should be encouraging people to trust scientists and not get information from organizations with ulterior motives.
