## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
##   Experiment = col_character(),
##   Virus = col_character(),
##   Cell = col_character(),
##   MOI = col_double(),
##   hpi = col_double(),
##   Titer = col_double()
## )

#lets have a peek into the data
head(mydata)

## # A tibble: 6 x 6
##   Experiment Virus Cell    MOI   hpi Titer
