Harmke Kamminga



It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my friend and former colleague, Harmke Kamminga. She died on January 2 2013, aged 67. She had been being receiving treatment for cancer, but had been managing well and was still mobile and socialising until her sudden death. Harmke had been a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of the History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge for several years before her retirement. Her publications and teaching interests ranged from the disputes over the origin of life, to the history of nutrition, vitamins, biochemistry and the double helix.
The cremation will take place at Cambridge Crematorium on Tuesday January 22 at 14.30, with a reception at DoubleTrees (formerly the Garden House Hotel) in Mill Lane, Cambridge. All who knew her are invited
