Office of Biological Visibility

The Institution does not comment publicly on the scope of this office's operations.

The Office of Biological Visibility was established in 1934. The name of the office is the only public information about its mandate. The Institution has declined, on multiple occasions and through different channels, to explain what “biological visibility” means in this context.

The Director’s position has been listed as vacant in the public register since 2019. The Institution states that this is correct.
