“I see our group as an opportunity to add to Berlin’s wide range of communities by building our very own and giving LGBTQ+ STEM people a space to connect with each other.”

Torn between her love for physics and biology, Sarah Mäusle chose to study Molecular Life Science in Lübeck, Germany. During her Master’s studies, she discovered her affinity for biophysics. In 2017 she began working on her PhD at the Physics Department of the Freie Unviersität Berlin. Her research there is focused on using time-resolved single-frequency infrared spectroscopy to gain insights into the molecular mechanism of the water-splitting reaction in Photosystem II, which creates the oxygen we breathe. Sarah is passionate about feminism, including queer rights, and in 2019 she co-founded LGBTQ STEM Berlin with the hopes of increasing queer visibility in STEM and connecting queer people from STEM fields in Berlin.
