In case you missed it: healthcare road rage, healing touch, Mount Auburn turnaround, transplant triumph, Medicaid waiver, nanotech rules

"You know those smell-resistant socks you plan to wear hiking? Well, the materials that eliminate the stink in your sportswear may soon be registered with your hometown public health department," David Rejeski, director of the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, writes on the op-ed page. "After nearly a year of considering complex regulatory and scientific topics, the Cambridge Public Health Department is currently crafting a program with other local agencies that will evaluate the use and production of nanomaterials in the city."
