Luisa Dillner, from the British Medical Journal, joins the pod to analyse the statistics behind relationships. That's the subject of her book Love By Numbers.
In the newsjam, we discuss Ray Kurzweil's new university backed by Google and Nasa, and we also look at 'Google Ocean'.
We hear from Dr Jonathan Bloch who's discovered the largest snake ever to have slithered the earth.
Science correspondent Ian Sample and James Randerson get some relationship advice in the studio.
