Scott Drew, head basketball coach of the NCAA National Championship-winning Baylor Bears, rebuilt a program mired in scandal by instilling a culture of putting Jesus first. The Road to J.O.Y. is packed with leadership and coaching lessons that can equip any leader to make their team a championship team. When Drew accepted the head coaching position at Baylor in 2003, the job was arguably the worst in all of college sports. The men’s basketball team had been disgraced by scandal: one player murdered a teammate, and the head coach who lied about the details tried to conceal illegal cash payments to his players, including a false allegation that the murdered player had been dealing drugs. It was an unprecedented story and a national embarrassment. Still, Coach Drew had a confident vision of what the program could be, even in the face of such adversity, and he guided his team to the pinnacle of success—Baylor’s first National Championship—while leading with, and living out, his faith. The Road to J.O.Y. shares: Biblical principles that have helped Coach Scott Drew lead well through challenging times An insider’s look at the others-first culture that spurred Baylor’s rebound Coach’s wisdom for investing in others and creating a successful organization The leadership lessons Drew has learned from growing up in a famous basketball family and years of coaching How faith is the foundation for everything Drew does With equal parts inspirational memoir and personal and professional growth, The Road to J.O.Y. is perfect for anyone who is looking to better live out their faith, lead a team, achieve a goal, or mentor others.

Scott Drew, head basketball coach of the NCAA National Championship-winning Baylor Bears, rebuilt a program mired in scandal by instilling a culture of putting Jesus first. More than a book about basketball, this is a road map for leading with, and living out, your faith in any context--in sports, in business, and in life. Nearly seventeen million viewers tuned into the 2021 NCAA National Championship to see the Baylor Bears, led by head coach Scott Drew, beat the top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs, who were undefeated heading into the championship game. The win was Baylor's first National Championship--the culmination of the biggest turnaround in college sports history.

They're not just twins; they're best friends. So when their town sponsors a soapbox derby race, Drew and Jonathan are first in line to enter. But when the rubber hits the road and the brothers just can't agree on how to build the best car, they wind up competing against each other! Can one of them win without the other? This hilarious and heartwarming story from television's favorite twins comes complete with a do-it-yourself project to build an original miniature race car!

When their town sponsors a soapbox derby race, twins Drew and Jonathan are first in line to enter. But when the rubber hits the road and the brothers just can't agree on how to build the best car, they wind up competing against each other! Can one of them win without the other?

If you're a fan of Jonathan and Drew's hit shows -- Property Brothers, Brother vs. Brother, Property Brothers at Home, and Buying and Selling -- you probably think you know the guys pretty well. But in true Scott brother form, it's what you find once you knock the walls down that will surprise you most: The raw vulnerability of two driven brothers, each robbed of his fondest dream before fate, perseverance, and the power of two rebuilt something even better. Drew was a gifted athlete with the vertical leap of an NBA player and ambitions to play professional basketball, until a devastating series of injuries dashed his hoop dreams and refocused him on a career in film. Jonathan was an award-winning magician whose design and carpentry skills were honed building grand illusions for the stage show he planned to take on tour. Like his brother, he saw the future he envisioned for himself slip away when catastrophe struck. But the cowboy code their parents instilled in them inspired the brothers to work that much harder and dream that much bigger. When someone told them they couldn't do something, their father urged them to find not one, but five ways to make it happen. Giving up wasn't an option, and their often-hilarious competitive streaks led to the epiphany that the power of two was sweeter than the failure of one.

The natural genetic code is largely shared amongst all terrestrial life, though variations do exist that provide evidence of genetic code evolution. The field of synthetic biology has developed methods to augment and modify the genetic code, by reassigning codons and genetically incorporating noncanonical amino acids (NCAAs). Most commonly, amino-acyl tRNA synthetases and their cognate tRNAs are engineered to recognize (NCAAs), the tRNA charged with an NCAA is then used during translation to decode the amber stop codon. Using this method, over 200 unique NCAAs have been added to the genetic code, allowing for the site-specific incorporation of useful chemistries, including covalent bond formation and fluorescence. NCAAs have been implemented in biological research and protein engineering. The second chapter of this dissertation explores the biophysical parameters that allow efficient crosslinking with a NCAA. We investigated several environmental factors which could impact crosslinking between two interacting proteins. We define a set of parameters that permit efficient crosslinking. Noncanonical amino acids are a potentially powerful tool in understanding genetic code evolution. Evolutionary experiments using NCAAs have already been used to explore proposed theories on codon evolution, including codon capture and ambiguous intermediate theories. Though several studies have explored the implications of NCAAs in evolution, significant obstacles have prevented the long-term evolution of wild-type organisms with expanded genetic codes. In chapter three of this dissertation we demonstrate that a single essential enzyme can be engineered to be structurally dependent on a genetically encoded NCAA. This confers a functional addiction to the NCAA and the addiction can be transferred to new bacterial hosts using a DNA plasmid. Chapter four expands on this idea, attempting to use the chemistries bestowed by the NCAA for active site chemistry. Finally, in chapter five we demonstrate that a protein-conferred cellular NCAA addiction is sufficient for the long-term evolution of bacteria with a recoded amber codon. We investigated the genetic and phenotypic impact of evolution with an expanded genetic code.
