}}Patricia Fara is a historian of science at the University of Cambridge. She is a graduate of the University of Oxford and did her PhD at the University of London.[1] She is a former Fellow of Darwin College and is an Emeritus Fellow of Clare College where she was previously Director of Studies in the History and Philosophy and Science.[2] Fara was also a College Teaching Officer in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science.[3] In 2016, Fara became President of the British Society for the History of Science, as well as President of the Antiquarian Horological Society.[4][5] Fara is author of numerous popular books on the history of science and has been a guest on BBC Radio 4's science and history discussion series, In Our Time.[6] She began her academic career as a physicist but returned to graduate studies as a mature student to specialise in History and Philosophy of Science, completing her PhD thesis at Imperial College, London in 1993.[7][8]

Her areas of particular academic interest include the role of portraiture and art in the history of science, science in the 18th century England during the Enlightenment and the role of women in science. She has written about numerous women in science, mathematics, engineering, and medicine including: Hertha Ayrton, Mona Chalmers Watson, Helen Gwynne-Vaughan, Isabel Emslie Hutton, Flora Murray, Ida Maclean, Marie Stopes, and Martha Annie Whiteley.[7][9][10] She has argued for expanded access to childcare as a means of increasing the retention of women in science.[4] She has written and co-authored a number of books for children on science. Fara is also a reviewer of books on history of science. She has written Science: A Four Thousand Year History (2009) [11][12] which won the 2011 Dingle Prize awarded by the British Society for the History of Science, and Erasmus Darwin: Sex, Science, and Serendipity (2012).[13] Her most recent book is A Lab of One's Own: Science and Suffrage in the First World War" (2017).[14][15]
