Kristen Ramsey, Assistant Professor, Molecular and Cell Biology at UConn appeared on Jeopardy this week. 
Kristen faced off against returning champion Bryce Wargin and Conner Huey on Tuesday night's episode of "Jeopardy!" Abigail Weiss, staff writer at CTInsider writes, " Ramsey maintained second place behind Wargin throughout the game. They both guessed the correct answer to the Final Jeopardy question, "Three mighty city-states roughly forming an equilateral triangle were Venice, Florence and 'this one' where the Viscontis and Sforzas ruled."
Ramsey wrote "What is Milan? (Hi, Dad! <3)."
She ended the game in second place, with a score of $8,790, and will not return Wednesday. Huey finished with a score of -$600 and Wargin secured $23,800. He will play again in Wednesday night's episode as a two-day champion.
Ramsey is an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at UConn, according to her faculty bio. She got her postdoctorate degree at Johns Hopkins University and her work at UConn aims to advance the knowledge around pathogen-sensing and signaling by RLRs, which are sensors of virus infections.
