( laughs ) >> safer: for the next seven months, after school and on weekends, jack's mother would drop him off at the lab where he learned basic lab techniques and worked on developing his cancer test. >> jack andraka: finally, one day in march, i realized this was actually working. like, it was working amazingly. because it was passing all of these preliminary tests. and i run out and, pretty much, like, screaming around the lab. i finally go out and rush into my mom's car. and, like, me and her are screaming in the car. and then, of cour
