NAME: Priscilla Chan

AGE: 29

BIRTHPLACE: Braintree, Massachusetts

EDUCATION: Harvard University, University of California, San Francisco.

EXPERIENCE: Fourth and fifth grade science teacher at the Harker School in San Jose, California; currently pediatrics resident at UCSF working with immigrant and underserved children.

PETS: Beast, a Hungarian puli dog bred to herd sheep.

QUOTE: "One thing that people don't see is that most kids at the base line are healthy, they don't have some catastrophic health problem. So being a pediatrician really means helping kids thrive, and thriving means helping their brain development. And so we need to give them chances to learn and grow into their future full potential."
