More information about Final Jeopardy:
Audrey Sherman is the first female 3M scientist to be granted 100 or more patents, reaching that milestone in 2017 (18 scientists in total have reached that milestone for the company).

Another thing I’m going to be curious about today: how many people are going to steal this writeup from TJ!F and paste it wholesale on their own website.
Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, over $440 has been raised.)
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
