30-year-old billionaire scientist and entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes, speaking at the Computer History Museum's "Revolutionaries" series. She dropped out of Stanford at age 19 because she thought she could live a life of purpose if she put her ideas to work in a company called Theranos.

Elizabeth Holmes believes her lab testing technologies can transform health care and make it more affordable here, and around the world. The Revolutionaries series is sponsored by Intel, Corporation. Holmes spoke with KQED's Michael Krasny on December 9, 2014.
