Throughout history, society has advanced thanks to the strenuous efforts of many gifted scientists. These individuals have enabled you to read what I'm writing today and other countless 1st World amenities. Yet despite their contributions and number, many individuals do not have the necessary tools to fulfill their endeavors. In particular, undergraduates are heavily underutilized.
Students seeking their first degree have many needs, many desires. Among them is the ability to achieve success in many different fields. Ambitious students aspire to become professionals in a world still composed of castes. Many will work for non-profit organizations, other corporations, or the government.
Teme is a structural entity that promotes undergraduate research through grassroots support. Research delves into areas such as computational biology and neural networks, but is not limited to any fields. We seek to uplift those individuals who have both the capacity and will to apply their wit to solving the problems of tomorrow's world.
As of now, we are currently in the process of filing 501c3 status as a non-profit organization. Also, we are seeking qualified, motivated individuals to fill a few remaining positions on our board. For those still interested in joining Teme or with any questions can respond to me through the comments. Welcome to Teme.

As we enter a new time of rebirth after our present economic turmoil, we'll need any army of Renaissance men and women to engineer our future. My hope is that Teme will encourage dialogue across disparate disciplines.
I believe we are entering a
I believe we are entering a brave new world. Our salvation rests on the shoulders of the youngblood of our University systems. The unbridled energy of these young people will be unstoppable if applied correctly.
