DESCRIPTION:Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies remains 
 one of the great challenges of modern cosmology. Key outstanding questions
  include: What are the physical processes driving the formation of stars i
 n individual galaxies? How do galaxies exchange material with their interg
 alactic environments? How do the impressive variety of galactic structures
  that we observe today assemble? How do supermassive black holes affect th
 e evolution of their host galaxies? We present new results from the MOSFIR
 E Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey\, a comprehensive census of the gal
 axy population during the peak epoch of activity in the universe ~10 billi
 on years ago. In addition to providing an overview of the MOSDEF survey an
 d its science\, we focus on new results regarding the evolving metal enric
 hment and physical conditions in the interstellar medium of star-forming g
 alaxies towards higher redshift. Our new results suggest many exciting fut
 ure observational directions for untangling the detailed nature of star fo
 rmation in the early universe.
