In this conversation, Matthew Marino—a recognized expert in occupational exoskeletons—provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric exoskeleton solutions and related non-exo devices, with a special focus on Cerebral Palsy applications.
Matthew Marino has over twenty years of experience in physical rehabilitation, health, fitness, human performance, ergonomics, and injury prevention, as well as in designing, testing, and implementing wearable sensors and exoskeleton technologies.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
