During his year old term in office, he created the "science flowers" project, which helped universities get to the Israeli periphery and helped under privileged students to excel. Another main project Shalom was involved in, was in spreading the internet in Israel and enlarging the internet's bandwidth and as a result of it, its surfing speed.

Famous quotes containing the words minister and/or science:
“Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased,
Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow,
Raze out the written troubles of the brain,
And with some sweet oblivious antidote
Cleanse the fraught bosom of that perilous stuff
Which weighs upon the heart?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The method of political science ... is the interpretation of life; its instrument is insight, a nice understanding of subtle, unformulated conditions.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
