We investigate the internal and external mechanisms that regulate and quench star formation (SF) in galaxies at $z \sim 0.3$ using MAGPI observations and the eagle, magneticum, and illustrisTNG cosmological simulations. Using simspin to generate mock observations of simulated galaxies, we match dete...
