I can't imagine anyone entrusting this person with anything ever again, particularly a position of leadership. Though, the cynic in me is sure she'll be showered with funding the next time she deigns to start a new venture.

Pretty sure she can easily get a book deal and find a second career as a motivational speaker:

Ellen Pao was an excellent CEO. The subs she got rid of were hateful and she didn't believe in editing comments. The current CEO won't ban subs inciting violence and instead gets rid of peaceful ones trading individual bottles of beer.

Sadly I think she would do great in the field. "Oh look she managed to raise all this money and start a company based on bogus results. We clearly need her on our team. She can deliver!". I guess it depends how you view the field and their ethics and business perspective.

Would you want the bad PR from having someone like Elizabeth Holmes related to your company?

It was observed long ago that there is no such thing as bad publicity. It may not be quite that black-and-white but there is definitely some truth to it.

She's actually banned from being an officer of ANY company.
Associated Press, March 14, 2018:
"Under an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, Holmes is barred from serving as an officer or director of a public company for 10 years. The SEC said it will pursue its case against the president of the company, Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, in federal district court in the Northern District of California."

Any public company.
This woman needs to steer far, far away from anything in the medical field for a LONG time. If she does end up back in that field, she needs to be way behind the scenes. Not presenting at a conference.
