Zora Elling, 10, has become the youngest person to graduate from Irvine Valley College in California, according to the school The pre-teen broke the record previously set by her own siblings, Athena and Tycho, at the same school Zora told KABC-TV that getting her record-setting degree was 'a bit scary' but also 'really fun'A 10-year-old girl is now the youngest graduate ever at a California college, breaking her own siblings' records. Zora Elling has set the record at Irvine Valley College (IVC) after receiving her Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Mathematics, according to a Facebook post shared by the school. IVC described Zora as 'a math whiz, a STEM advocate and a total inspiration.' She plans to attend the University of California in Irvine this fall. 'The Elling family continues to redefine what's possible—one remarkable milestone at a time. 💙💛,' school officials wrote. Zora said getting her record-setting degree was 'a bit scary' but also 'really fun,' according to ABC affiliate KABC-TV. "I don't really care about breaking the record, I just wanted to take the math classes," the 10-year-old explained. Zora, who has yet to graduate from high school, will transfer to UC Irvine, where she plans to major in math, this fall, according to The Orange County Register. Christina Chow, Zora's mom, said her 10-year-old daughter has long been resilient. 'As parents, you always just try to figure out what it is they like and support them,' she explained. 'For Zora, it's always been pets and reading and math.' This is the third straight year that the record has been broken, having been previously set by Zora's siblings Athena and Tycho. Athena was just 11 years old when she set the last record in May 2024, earning an associate's degree in liberal arts. Older brother Tycho was also 11 when he set the record in 2023. His birthday took place within days of his graduation, while Athena's was seven months away. Athena is currently taking more classes at IVC, while Tycho is preparing to graduate from UC Irvine this month with a bachelor's in mathematics, according to KABC-TV. Tycho reportedly plans to enter the University of Southern California's Ph.D. program in August.

Athena said she and her siblings are not fond of the phrase 'genius' being used to describe them.

Source: Courtesy / Universal Pictures A new era is here! This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth. Continue reading to check out the final trailer. The film takes place five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, as the planet's ecology now has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Iconic action superstar and Academy Award nominee Scarlett Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades. Oscar winner Mahershala Ali ( The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Hunger Games film series) is Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey ( Wicked , Bridgerton ) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend ( Homeland , Obi-Wan Kenobi ) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo ( The Lincoln Lawyer , Murder on the Orient Express ) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family. The cast also includes Luna Blaise ( Manifest ), David Iacono ( The Summer I Turned Pretty ) and Audrina Miranda ( Lopez vs. Lopez ) as Reuben's family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs' crews, Philippine Velge ( Station Eleven ), Bechir Sylvain ( BMF ) and Ed Skrein( Deadpool ). Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by dynamic visualist and BAFTA winner Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer. The epic action-adventure will hit theaters on July 2nd. As we patiently wait, check out the final trailer below!

Jurassic World Rebirth Trailer: Scarlett Johansson's Team Faces The ‘Worst Ones'
The events of Jurassic World Rebirth unfold five years after Jurassic World: Dominion, with new characters taking charge. The 'worst of the worst" is yet to come! The much-awaited seventh installment in the beloved prehistoric franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, is set to roar into theatres this July. With around a month left before the film's release, makers have dropped a fresh trailer for Jurassic World Rebirth. It promises a lot of dino action directly from the brain of David Koepp, the one who penned the screenplay for Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park. The narrative picks up five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion, with the planet's ecology now becoming largely inhospitable for the dinosaurs. The trailer shows a new team, led by Scarlett Johansson's covert operations expert Zora Bennett, moving to complete a top-secret mission to the 'most dangerous place on Earth"—the island research facility of the original Jurassic Park, which now houses the deadliest animals. 'Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea, and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind," the film's synopsis reads. Joining Johansson on the mission are Mahershala Ali as Duncan Kincaid, Zora's most trusted team member, and Jonathan Bailey as palaeontologist Dr. Henry Loomis. Among others are Emmy nominee Rupert Friend as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. The trailer opens at a research facility, where a team member is attacked by a mysteriously dangerous dinosaur. The scene cuts to the Zora's team heading toward the island, where they state that two dozen dinosaurs have been surviving alone. As Zora notes how the facility carried out experimental work on the animals, leaving only the 'worst ones," her team ends up crossing paths with a civilian family who are stranded on the island. The groups join forces, only to uncover a long-buried secret and encounter their worst nightmare—the Distortus Rex, or D-Rex. Believed to have six limbs, jagged teeth, and a twisted form, the dinosaur is one of the most grotesque designs by the franchise, director Gareth Edwards revealed to Empire. All through this, the team struggles to extract DNA from the three most colossal creatures across land, sea, and air within that tropical biosphere, which they believe holds the key to a drug for bringing miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Fans will have to wait to find answers to all the questions. Jurassic World Rebirth will release on July 2, 2025. First Published:

The teaser features Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali confronting some of the most terrifying prehistoric creatures ever seen in the franchise.

The trailer's caption ominously notes, 'The worst of the worst dinosaurs were left here,' underscoring the heightened stakes. Set five years after Jurassic World Dominion (2022), the film follows Zora, a covert operations expert, leading a mission to secure genetic material from the world's three largest dinosaurs. Along the way, their operation collides with a civilian family stranded after a boating accident caused by aggressive aquatic dinosaurs. Together, they uncover a sinister secret hidden for decades. Director Gareth Edwards, known for Rogue One and Godzilla, revealed in early 2024 that he planned to take a break before the Jurassic offer came his way. 'This is the only movie that would make me drop everything like a stone and dive right in,' Edwards said, praising the original Jurassic Park as a 'cinematic masterpiece.' The screenplay was written by David Koepp, who penned the original 1993 film and its 1997 sequel, marking his first return to the franchise in nearly three decades. Jurassic World Rebirth hits cinemas July 2, promising fans a thrilling new chapter in the iconic saga.
