Abstract
Most cosmic star formation occurs in main-sequence galaxies, but their activity has changed greatly over cosmic history. This seminar asks how their appearance and evolution depend on molecular gas, why galaxies in the early Universe formed stars much faster than the Milky Way today, and what eventually suppresses star formation.
