**Opening Talk – Speaking Many Languages: Finding Power and Joy in R and Python**
*By Federica Gazzelloni*
When I first started my journey in data science, I believed I had to “choose a side”—R or Python. But over time, I discovered that speaking more than one programming language isn’t about choosing sides; it’s about expanding perspectives. In this talk, I’ll share a bit of my personal story—how I came to learn both R and Python, what each has taught me, and how switching between them has enriched my work and opened unexpected doors. Along the way, I’ll walk through a few simple, side-by-side examples in both languages to highlight their strengths and unique styles. Whether you’re deeply rooted in one language or just starting out, I hope this talk leaves you feeling empowered to learn broadly, build confidently, and connect across communities.
