<br>
I think the "LSTG -- Lex. Science & Technology Group" is more accurate. Since we often also talk about computing, we should add it to the new name "LSCTG -- Lex. Science, Computing & Technology Group"<br>
<br>
I am not sure but I think that some group/program within LPS is already called LexSTEM. I have most often encounter the "<place>STEM" name in reference to school/university programs. I recommend that we do not use STEM in our new name.<br>
<br>
Thanks for all of the work you put into keeping us going,<br>
